The leaves impart a unique flavour and aroma to the food during the cooking process.

Tea: Dried bamboo leaves can be used to make herbal tea. Steeping the leaves in hot water creates a fragrant and soothing tea with a mild, earthy flavour. Bamboo leaf tea is often enjoyed for its potential health benefits, including digestive support and relaxation.

Natural insect repellent: Dried bamboo leaves are known for their insect-repellent properties. They can be used to deter insects, pests, or moths from stored grains, clothing, or other susceptible items. Simply place dried bamboo leaves in areas where pests are a concern.

Mulch and composting: Dried bamboo leaves can be used as mulch in the garden. They help retain moisture in the soil, suppress weed growth, and provide nutrients as they break down. Additionally, adding dried bamboo leaves to compost piles contributes organic matter and aids in the decomposition process.

Packaging and storage: Dried bamboo leaves can be used as eco-friendly packaging material or storage covers. They are particularly useful for wrapping fragile or delicate items, providing a protective layer while being biodegradable and sustainable.
