Bamboo is a huge tropical grass with hollow tree stems. In the west, given the use of bamboo, I think 80’s garden furniture and bamboo shoots are eaten with our favorite Chinese takeaway dishes. In the east, bamboo is not the only one.

Bamboo is a very sustainable plant that grows at an amazing rate. It is one of the fastest growing plants on the planet and has been recorded to grow at speeds of 100 cm (1 meter or 39 inches) in 24 hours. Due to the speed at which it grows, it can be used and re-available very quickly.

Bamboo is a versatile plant with over 1400 species adapted to grow in all climates, adapting to the diversity of Asia.

Bamboo is a very useful product in Asia and has many uses.

• Medicine-Bamboo is an Ayurvedic remedy that provides a mysterious remedy for respiratory illness and as a healing sesame oil for Chinese herbs.

• Textiles-Bamboo is becoming more and more popular as a textile. It is strong, soft, durable and relatively easy to manufacture. This, coupled with its sustainability, ensures that bamboo is becoming more and more popular as a clothing choice of choice in the West.

• Musical Instruments – Bamboo flutes are made in various forms around the world for cultures that rely on and to some extent depend on the creation of their own entertainment. Bamboo musical instruments have been carved from Polynesia to the Philippines and are still in use today.

Other products made from bamboo and bamboo applications include decorations to remove salt from seawater, chopsticks, furniture, weapons, writing instruments, bicycles, and even seawater desalination.

Bamboo is a sign of longevity in China and a sign of friendship in India. Many stories, myths and legends surround bamboo. First, because bamboo blooms rarely, this event heralds an imminent famine in China. In Japan, bamboo grove protects the shrine from evil and is especially important in Vietnam, which symbolizes the hometown and soul.

So, not only is bamboo versatile and convenient, it is also a symbol of Asia and is important to the many different cultures that live there.
