DRUKCAN Bamboo Shoots Yellow (Tama) - 350g
$6.99
DRUKCAN Bamboo Shoots Yellow (Tama) delivers the distinctive fermented bamboo shoot that is a cornerstone ingredient in Nepali cooking. Tama has a pronounced earthy, sour, funky flavor that develops through traditional fermentation, and that powerful character is precisely what makes dishes like aloo tama (bamboo shoot and potato curry) and tama-bodi (bamboo shoot and black-eyed pea curry) so deeply satisfying. These are dishes that cannot be replicated with fresh or non-fermented bamboo — the fermented version is the authentic one, and it is irreplaceable. DRUKCAN's tama is prepared and packaged to preserve that fermented quality so you can cook these classic Nepali dishes at home with the right ingredient, the right flavor, and the right result.

Great service from Danfe Store! They delivered groceries from Vancouver to Chilliwack at an affordable price. Very convenient and reliable. I’m happy with their service and would definitely recommend them to others.

Love Danphe Nepali Grocery Store! Great selection of authentic Nepali products, fresh items, and friendly service. It truly feels like a little piece of Nepal. Highly recommended! 😊 Thank you so much for your lovely response! 🥰 I wanted to mention that the only reason I didn’t give the fifth star at that time was because I hadn’t tried the momo yet. But now that I have — it’s 10/10! Absolutely delicious and full of Nepali authentic flavor. The momo achar was so good too — it really made the whole experience even better! 😍 I’ll definitely be coming back to buy more. Highly recommended to everyone looking for a true taste of Nepal 🇳🇵❤️
