When i shopped at Thai store this afternoon, Oratay, the owner is very busy arranging Naw Mai. She said it is a bamboo shoot which is the start of a young bamboo plant that, if not harvested, will grow into a tall bamboo plant.
In Thailand, bamboo shoots are available fresh during the rainy season, May through October. Otherwise, they are available in cans and jars. Though i don't eat bamboo shoots, it's fascinating to learn how it turned yellow and a lot of people like it as salads or curry dishes with chicken, meat and beef.
