In fact, bamboo shoots are a low sugar, low-fat, and high fiber food that contains the nutrients needed by the human body. They can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, strengthen self absorption and digestion, prevent constipation, stimulate appetite and strengthen the spleen, giving people a sense of fullness and preventing weight gain.
