Healthy Tips – Bamboo

April 12, 2011 TC 0 Comments

Bamboo is a vegetable commonly used in Japan and China. It contains healthy benefits and it’s tasty. Bamboo is very high in fiber; its fiber content helps ensure proper digestion and reduces hunger pains throughout the day.

As a plant, Bamboo’s roots are interconnected and strong. For me, this symbolizes the strong bond between individuals in Japan.

Benihana of Tokyo Inc. recently designed bamboo chopsticks to be sold at Benihana of Tokyo restaurants –17 restaurants in total. Proceeds will be donated to relief organization aiding victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Message on Bamboo Chopsticks Packaging:

Like bamboo roots, intertwined together under the soil supporting each other, I hope we can bring our hands together to help and support the victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
