When properly prepared, Bamboo is nutrient-rich, and is in fact a staple of many Asian country’s diets.




Big Heart Bamboo founder, farmer and entrepreneur Becky Dart is forging a new industry on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast - growing, cooking and preserving bamboo to eat.




We walk around her bamboo farm on this episode of Streets of Your Town, and Becky explains how Bamboo is the world’s largest grass, one of the remaining large species from the megafauna era and one of the oldest plants in the world. When prepared properly it is also highly nutritious, and is revered as a delicacy in many Asian countries.
