If Bamboo is a grass, are the seeds grains? I see from the text that they are infrequently available, but that pests like them -- are they edible by humans, and if so, are they palatable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.202.33.17 (talk) 05:39, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they are consumed as a grain but it is not very common - see addition in the "Culinary" section — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bamboolucy (talk • contribs) 03:04, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So I was just reading the article and found an image of a giant panda eating bamboo that was covering up part of the text at the beginning of the "Cultivation" section. Any idea what is going on? TypoEater (talk) 15:27, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I dont understand, why bamboo is a subfamily within grass family, rather than a family in their own right? I initially thought the bamboo was an independent family. When i see this wikipedia page for the first time, it turned out to be subfamily within poaceae family. I cannot explain the reason to place bamboo as a subfamily. By the way what is the proposed bamboo name as a family? The word bambusoideae makes me irritating like minding a kitten, but sorry this is my petty joke. This is pretty irritating that the bamboo should not be subfamily within grass family, but a family of its own right. So i hope someone can understand this situation. 2404:8000:1027:2C72:74F0:C69D:711B:25F9 (talk) 16:33, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
