Origins
Where does bamboo grow? Everywhere except Europe and Antarctica. It is estimated that bamboo forests cover up to 18 million hectares of land in Asia, America and Africa. This elegant plant is most widespread in China and Central and South America. In Europe, bamboo is grown mainly as a decorative plant in botanical gardens.
For millennia, people have used not only the hollow stems (for construction) but also the young shoots (for food) and the leaves and roots (for medicine). Bamboo chips and bamboo sap have been used to treat cramps. Bamboo is not a wood and has no equivalent in the world.
There exists around 1,500 species of bamboo, united by their very fast growth (up to 1m in 24 hours), lance-shaped leaves and hollow stem with knees. This becomes woody within a few years. The flowering of bamboo is also interesting. Some species flower very rarely (every 60 years, for example), at the same time all over the world.
The young bamboo leaves collected in early spring have the most valuable substances. This is when they contain the maximum amount of these substances. They are dried under close supervision to prevent damage and loss of flavor and natural aroma.
In Eastern cultures, bamboo is a symbol of long life and good luck. Its motif often appears in painting, calligraphy and music.
