Bitter bamboo shoot season

(Baonghean) -Every year from February to April, the villagers in Huoi Tu commune (Ky Son) carry their baskets and shovels up the mountain to find bitter bamboo shoots. For the Mong people in Huoi Tu commune, bitter bamboo shoots are a significant source of income. This year, thanks to favorable weather, the bitter bamboo shoots have a good harvest, so the villagers are very excited.

Towards the end of the season, bamboo shoots become more bitter and scarce, so the price of bamboo shoots increases day by day. At the beginning of the season, the price of bamboo shoots imported to traders was only 3,000 VND/kg, now it has increased to 7,000 VND/kg...

I would like to share with readers some pictures of the bitter bamboo shoot season in Huoi Tu:
