EN: young shoot of a bamboo or banana plant
Think of it as the baby of a bamboo or banana plant. It's the plant equivalent of a newborn. In some provinces, they cook the 'supang ng kawayan' (bamboo shoots), which you might know as 'labong'. So, before it becomes the sturdy bamboo you see, it was a smol, soft 'supang'.
Often used in agricultural or rural contexts. 'Labong' is the more common term for edible bamboo shoots.
