Bamboo shoots are young shoots of bamboo plants that appear on the surface of the base clump. Young bamboo shoots are good to eat, so are classified into the vegetables. Bamboo shoot bamboo grove growing base section and are usually filled by bamboo hair. Morfologi conical bamboo shoots, each end "glugut" have a section like bamboo leaf tip, but the colors are brown. According to botanical classification, including grade bamboo plants.

Not all bamboo shoots can be processed into food. Bamboo is one type of bamboo that can not be processed into food, it tastes bitter. Types of bamboo shoots that taste delicious is yellow bamboo shoots, Rampal / flute, ori, and Ater. Shoots of bamboo Betung have the most delicious flavor. Betung bamboo shoots in red brown and corms (calyx end) at the end of the bamboo shoots are purple. Shoots are protected by powerful petals fluffy.

The content of main compounds in the crude bamboo shoot is water, which is about 91 percent. In addition, bamboo shoots contain protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin C, as well as other minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, and potassium. When compared with other vegetables, protein, fat, and carbohydrates in the shoots, do not differ much.

Bamboo shoots also have a fairly high potassium content. Levels of potassium per 100 grams of bamboo shoots is 533 mg. Foods that are full of potassium, which is at least 400 mg, may reduce the risk of stroke. The role of potassium equal to sodium, which together with chloride, helps maintain osmotic pressure and acid base balance. Potassium maintain osmotic pressure in intracellular fluid, and partly bound to protein. Potassium also helps to activate the enzyme reaction, such as pyruvate kinase which can produce pyruvic acid in carbohydrate metabolism process is usually a potassium deficiency symptoms of muscle softening.

Food fiber content in shoots was 2.56 percent, higher than any other tropical vegetable species, such as soybean sprouts (1.27 percent), cucumber (0.61 percent), and mustard greens (1, 01 percent). Lack of fiber does not cause specific symptoms, as was the case on the lack of certain nutrients. Dietary fiber is a form of complex carbohydrate compound that many artifacts on food plant cell walls. Dietary fiber can not be digested and absorbed by the human digestive tract, but it has functions that are skelter for health maintenance, disease prevention, and as an important component of nutrition therapy.

Cave Bat For Health


Indonesia memiliki 200 jenis Cave Bat/kelelawar atau 20% dari jumlah jenis kelelawar yang ada di dunia. Yang terdiri dari jenis kelelawar berukuran kecil hingga kelelawar yang berukuran besar, dan dari kelelawar pemakan serangga hingga pemakan buah-buahan dan nektar. Kelelawar merupakan satu-satunya jenis hewan mamalia yang dapat terbang dengan menggunakan sayapnya. Kelelawar aktif mencari makan dan terbang hanya pada waktu malam hari dikarenakan kelelawar sangat sensitif terhadap dehidrasi (kekurangan air). Bila siang hari ia tidur dengan bergelantung terbalik. Habitat (tempat tinggalnya) biasanya di gua-gua, alam terbuka, atau dipepohonan.

Klasifikasi dari kelelawar :
1. Pteropodidae (kalong)
2. Emballonuridae (Kelelawar ekor-trubus)
3. Megadermatidae (Vampir palsu)
4. Nycteridae (Kelelawar muka-cekung)
5. Rhinolophidae (Kelelawar-ladam)
6. Hipposideridae (Barong)
7. Vespertilionidae (Kelelawar biasa)
8. Molossidae (Kelelawar bibir-keriput)

Khasiat Cave Bat:
1. Hati dan daging Kelelawar
Diyakini bisa menyembuhkan radang tenggorokan dan penyakit asma. Karena Kelelawar memiliki senyawa Kitotefin yang berfungsi untuk menstabilkan membran sel mastosit didalam tubuh. Penyakit Asma yang terjadi karena alergi bisa dicegah dengan adanya daging bersenyawa kitotefin itu di dalam tubuh. Sebab daging tersebut merangsang terbentuknya antibodi pada tubuh. Yang perlu diperhatikan mungkin hanya masalah pengolahan daging sebelum dimakan. Sebab kalau sembarangan mengolah bisa mengakibatkan hilangnya kadar kitotefin yang ada. Jadi disarankan tidak mengolah daging dalam kondisi terlalu panas. Suhu yang disarankan untuk memasak daging ini, jangan sampai melebihi 150 derajat Celcius.

2. Air liur Kelelawar
Senyawa kimia yang ada di air liur (saliva pada kelelawar jenis vampir) ternyata bisa memecahkan bekuan darah (blood clot). Senyawa kimia yang dimaksud sebenarnya berupa enzim bernama Desmoteplase (DSPA). Fungsi enzim ini untuk mengencerkan darah pada penderita Stroke. Seperti diketahui, otak manusia memerlukan 20 persen dari jumlah darah yang mengalir di dalam tubuh. Bila aliran darah ke otak terhambat dalam beberapa detik saja, sel-sel otak akan rusak atau mati. Dengan demikian, beberapa bagian otak pun jadi ikut rusak. Proses inilah yang disebut stroke.
