Today's ungrainy post (puntended).

This isn't going to be on everyone's favorite except for adorable pandas 🐼 and me! Yup, every now and then I do like to indulge on bamboo shoots. However, where I live it's becoming rarer to find whole fresh shoots. Instead, we usually see these in the market already shredded and dyed to bright yellow! (See first pic).

I supposed these were "fortified" with mostly likely FD&C 5** aka Yellow 5 or tartrazine. I prefer my bamboo shoots with its natural color so I had to rinse these in warm water twice then parboiled and drained for five times! Look at the massive difference in color! (Pic 2)

I also learned that most of these bamboo shoots sold in Metro Manila come from the beautiful Province of Rizal thus tagging them. Maybe perhaps, someone who sees this post will help spread awareness on the unnecessary use of food dye. DILG Rizal Province

**Tartrazine is a synthetic yellow food dye. It is also called FD&C yellow #5. Tartrazine is one of several azo food dyes made from petroleum products, and among several dyes and food additives studied for potential health impacts. Tartrazine is approved by the FDA for use in the United States. In some countries, such as Norway, yellow #5 has been banned in the past, as have other azo food dyes.

TLDR please

Grains are a symbol of sustenance and unity. They bring people together, bridging cultures and creating shared experiences around the table.

Did you know that brown rice is an excellent source of dietary fiber? It promotes healthy digestion, aiding in smoother bowel movements and reducing the risk of constipation**.

**Although in extreme cases such as blockages in the intestines, too much fiber might not be a great idea. If you suffer from constant constipation, it's best to consult a doctor.
