Bamboo Sprouts are the young tender stalks emerging from nodes of the rhizome of bamboo plants. The edible part consists of meristematic cell tissue with regions of rapid cell division and differentiation, which is enveloped in protective, non-edible leaf sheaths. Bamboo sprouts are rich in both amino acids and antioxidants and taste fresh, crisp with aromatic quality, and are delicious. Therefore, they are usually called “the top grade vegetable”.

Bamboo is the richest known source of natural silica, containing over 70%. Bamboo Silica extract is prepared from the Tabashir bamboo stem from India (Bambusa vulgaris). Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element on earth after oxygen, and a sister element of carbon. Silicon's role as an essential nutrient was not established until 1972, but it is now known to play a part in the integrity of the skin, ligaments, tendons and bone.
