The taste of cooked bamboo seeds is reported to be similar to wheat and the appearance similar to rice, but bamboo seeds have been found to have lower nutrient levels than both. [75] The seeds can be pulverized into a flour with which to make cakes. [69]

The shoots of most species are edible either raw or cooked, with the tough sheath removed. Cooking removes the slight bitterness.

Annual cycle: Most all growth of new bamboo occurs during the wet season and disturbing the clump during this phase will potentially damage the upcoming crop, while harvesting immediately prior to the wet/growth season may also damage new shoots, therefore harvesting is best a few months prior to the start of the wet season. [61] Also during this high-rainfall period, sap levels are at their highest, and then diminish towards the dry season. [62]
