[12:16.27]Bamboo
[12:18.01]Bamboo is a type of grass with a hard, woody, hollow stem.
[12:24.11]There are 1,500 different species of bamboo,
[12:28.48]occurring naturally in every continent except Europe and Antarctica.
[12:34.71]Bamboo is among the fastest growing plants on the planet.
[12:39.81]One Japanese species rockets skywards at a rate of a metre a day.
[12:46.76]Some bamboos can reach a lofty 35 metres in height
[12:52.07]while others are only half a metre tall.
[12:56.61]Bamboo is famous as the major food source of rare animals
[13:01.65]such as the giant panda and red panda.
[13:05.94]It is also economically important to humans as a building material and as food.
[13:14.16]Bamboo has a crisp texture and light, sweet flavor.
[13:20.13]It generally assumes the flavour of ingredients it is combined with,
[13:24.98]so bamboo shoots are often used as fillers in Asian cuisine.
[13:30.90]While some bamboo can be eaten raw,
[13:34.13]some varieties must be cooked to remove some toxic elements.
