Ok, first of all, this is not a piece of *SHIT*.
Commercially it is call "Bamboo Charcoal Bread".
I was first introduce to this charcoal bread few years back by one of my ex-colleague.
Me (saw my colleague's charcoal bread) : Aiks, why your bread turn all black?
Me again : Still can eat mer?
My Colleague : Can lar, why not? This is called charcoal bread, you don't know mer.
Me : Charcoal is eatable? You sure or not?
My Colleague : Sure can, some more it is good for your heath.
Me : Hmm.. For me anything to do with charcoal got to do with cause of cancel.
My Colleague : =.="
Well, I really thought that anything to do with charcoal (over burn) will cause cancer if we consume it, and I still do.
I totally forget about this charcoal bread until my trip back to Sarawak last 2 weeks. We came in to one of the bread shop at Sibu and saw this charcoal bread. Mum and Christine bought one each of it.
I tasted a bit and it taste weird. Don't know how to explain it but doesn't feel good. So the first thing I do when I got access to the net, I Googled it.
Some information I found on wiki.
- Bamboo charcoal is made up from pieces of bamboo, which are taken from plants five years or older, and burned inside an oven at temperatures over 800° C
- Bamboo charcoal has a long history in China and has been documented as early as 1486 AD during the Ming Dynasty
- Bamboo charcoal is mainly used as fuel for cooking and drying tea in China and Japan.
- Bamboo charcoal can be used for purifying water, eliminating organic impurity substances and smells.
- Bamboo charcoal vinegar can be used to expel smell, kill bacteria, keep health and to nourish facial and body skin
But I think they really need to improve the look of the bread.
At least don't make it in all black color, so gross.
So as conclusion, Bamboo Charcoal Bread is eatable. ^_^
