Water bamboo shoots are an aquatic vegetable. Li Shizhen’s Compendium of Materia Medica (Bencao Gangmu) states: “People in the Jiangnan region call gu (wild rice stem) ‘jia’, because its roots are interwoven.” This describes how its roots are naturally intertwined, which is why it is named “jiaobai” (water bamboo shoots). The Compendium of Materia Medica also records the medicinal benefits of water bamboo shoots.

Also known as the “beauty’s leg,” water bamboo shoots are a nutritious vegetable rich in water content and dietary fiber. They also contain potassium, which may help support metabolic regulation.

Papaya is known in English as “Papaya” and is often called the “King of Fruits for Many Benefits.” It has a neutral nature—neither cold nor heat-inducing—making it easy to digest and absorb, and it is very low in sugar.

“Green papaya” refers to the unripe fruit. It contains papaya enzymes, papain, vitamin C, carotene, and other nutrients. It is widely regarded as a popular beauty-enhancing superfood.
