Dalle Chilli Bamboo Shoot Pickle

ESF Dalle Bamboo Shoot Pickle is a traditional Eastern Himalayan-style pickle made using fermented bamboo shoots and fiery Dalle chillies, offering a bold combination of heat, tanginess, and umami-rich flavour.

Bamboo shoots are the young edible sprouts of bamboo plants widely consumed across Northeast India and the Himalayan belt for their unique flavour and texture.

Bamboo shoots have a savoury, earthy, slightly tangy flavour with a naturally fermented depth that pairs beautifully with spices and chillies.
