&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;They contain 17 amino acids, 8 of which are essential: experts&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The tallest grass on earth at its smallest could be among the cheapest immunity boosters for increasing the human body&amp;rsquo;s resistance to viral attacks, experts have said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The bamboo, considered the grass of life in the northeast, takes care of almost every requirement from birth to death. But the focus of more than 25 experts from 11 countries who converged digitally to mark &amp;lsquo;World Bamboo Day&amp;rsquo; on Friday was on the nutraceutical bamboo shoot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The term &amp;lsquo;nutraceutical&amp;rsquo; is used to describe medicinally or nutritionally functional foods while bamboo shoots are the edible sprouts of the perennial grass.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Bamboo shoots are emerging as high-value and safe edibles and growing in utility globally along with all other value-added bamboo products. The protein content in fresh bamboo shoots, considered as nutraceutical, can range between 1.49-4.04%. They also contain 17 amino acids, eight of which are essential for the human body,&amp;rdquo; said Syam Vishwanath, director of the Kerala Forest Research Institute.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Global market&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The present global market of bamboo shoots is around $1,700 million. More than 3 million tonnes of bamboo shoots are consumed across the earth annually, but the shoot production and consumption in India are confined mostly to the north-eastern States.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;They contain 17 amino acids, 8 of which are essential: experts&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The tallest grass on earth at its smallest could be among the cheapest immunity boosters for increasing the human body&amp;rsquo;s resistance to viral attacks, experts have said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The bamboo, considered the grass of life in the northeast, takes care of almost every requirement from birth to death. But the focus of more than 25 experts from 11 countries who converged digitally to mark &amp;lsquo;World Bamboo Day&amp;rsquo; on Friday was on the nutraceutical bamboo shoot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The term &amp;lsquo;nutraceutical&amp;rsquo; is used to describe medicinally or nutritionally functional foods while bamboo shoots are the edible sprouts of the perennial grass.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Bamboo shoots are emerging as high-value and safe edibles and growing in utility globally along with all other value-added bamboo products. The protein content in fresh bamboo shoots, considered as nutraceutical, can range between 1.49-4.04%. They also contain 17 amino acids, eight of which are essential for the human body,&amp;rdquo; said Syam Vishwanath, director of the Kerala Forest Research Institute.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Global market&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The present global market of bamboo shoots is around $1,700 million. More than 3 million tonnes of bamboo shoots are consumed across the earth annually, but the shoot production and consumption in India are confined mostly to the north-eastern States.&lt;/p&gt;

‘Bamboo shoots can be among cheapest immunity boosters’ -Rahul Karmakar

-The Hindu They contain 17 amino acids, 8 of which are essential: experts The tallest grass on earth at its smallest could be among the cheapest immunity boosters for increasing the human body’s resistance to viral attacks, experts have said. The bamboo, considered the grass of life in the northeast, takes care of almost every requirement from birth to death. But the focus of more than 25 experts from 11 countries who converged digitally to mark ‘World Bamboo Day’ on Friday was on the nutraceutical bamboo shoot. The term ‘nutraceutical’ is used to describe medicinally or nutritionally functional foods while bamboo shoots are the edible sprouts of the perennial grass. “Bamboo shoots are emerging as high-value and safe edibles and growing in utility globally along with all other value-added bamboo products. The protein content in fresh bamboo shoots, considered as nutraceutical, can range between 1.49-4.04%. They also contain 17 amino acids, eight of which are essential for the human body,” said Syam Vishwanath, director of the Kerala Forest Research Institute. Global market The present global market of bamboo shoots is around $1,700 million. More than 3 million tonnes of bamboo shoots are consumed across the earth annually, but the shoot production and consumption in India are confined mostly to the north-eastern States.
