Abstract The very young edible shoot of bamboo- Melocanna baccifera is widely used as a raw food ingredient for several dishes of Tripura Tribes. In Kokborok (Tribal language - the 3rd Official Language of the state-Tripura, India), it is known as Muia. It’s soft part is used almost daily & vigorously by the Tribal people, allowing it as one of the major ingredient of almost all curry. There is very little scientific analysis regarding the biological activities of different food items of Tribal people of Tripura. Few therapeutic activities of this young edible shoot and it’s different part were performed based on the availability of facilities of laboratories but the quantitative estimation of this edible shoot was not carried out. Therefore, it is pertinent to study quantitative estimation of food value of edible young shoot. Methanolic shoot extract of bamboo-Melocanna baccifera (MEMB) has transpired the presence of several components like, protein, carbohydrate, minerals like sodium, chloride, phosphate, calcium potassium, alkaloids, fixed oil along with few bioactive constituents like flavonoids, triterpinoids, glycosides. MEMB was able to show some pharmacological activities like analgesic activity, anti-diabetic activity & hepatoprotective activity along with antimicrobial activity. So, the shoot of Melocanna baccifera is protective as well as nutritious food for Tribal people of Tripura, India. That’s why, nowadays, a section of non-Tribal people of Tripura also used to consume the said food ingredient in several dishes.
