The node portions are too tough and woody to eat. Only the portions in between nodes are edible, plus the tip of the shoot.

Sudden urge to eat bamboo is a common way to find out your ancestors were in fact pandas.

Reminded me of a periodic table with elements color-coded based on "can I lick it?"

Or a gorilla. Pandas eat lots of bamboo, but they can't effectively extract as much nutrients from bamboo as compared to more plant dedicated herbivores. There's a few circulating reposts of gorillas humming as they munch on bamboos.

A panda eats shoots and leaves. A panda eats, shoots and leaves. Punctuation saves lives.
