Bamboo rice is the seeds of a flowering bamboo tree that grows at the end of its life span. It is a rare short grain rice as it takes many years for a bamboo tree to flower and grow seeds. It has a unique aroma and a delightful colour. Bamboo rice has no fat content, has a low GI, and is full of B vitamins.Cultivation: Bamboo rice is collected from dying bamboo trees. When a fully grown bamboo tree reaches its last stage of life, its flowers turn into these nutritious seeds. Since bamboo trees nearly take five years or more to grow, bamboo rice is a rare food.
