Abstract : Proximate constituents, essential vitamins and minerals were estimated in 2 samples of
bamboo (Bambusa arundinacea, Wild) seed. The nutrient composition was similar to that
of wheat, except for the low content of nicotinic acid. Unlike cereal proteins, bamboo seed
proteins were relatively rich in lysine, 4.4 to 4.8 g per 16 g N. The mean biological value
and digestibility coefficients of the bamboo seed proteins were 78.2 and 94 1%, respectively. The
protein efficiency ratio was 2.92 compared to 2.78 for dried skimmed milk.-M. N. R.

One of the tallest grasses in the world, this true giant has
numerous branches at the nodes with one or two being
exceptionally large with many stems tufted onto a stout root
stock. Although it thrives in tropical to subtropical climates
and is best grown in warm humid temperate areas, it can be
easily grown as a pot plant or for impressive summer bedding.
Its young shoots are consumed as food in some parts of China
and India and new shoots start growing slowly, but soon grow
approximately 30cm per day, indeed 75 cm in one day has
been recorded in Sri Lanka. Its hard wood is also used by
Chinese craftsmen in household carpentry, furniture, boxes
and ornamental vases,
