    Flat and round? Water chestnuts. Long and thin are bean sprouts :)

    Bamboo shoots. They are rectangular and stringy right?

    The water chestnuts are circular and white.

    I think you are talking about water chestnuts!

    As for the 4 oz thing, it depends. When something refers to a liquid, 4 ounces is half a cup because it measures volume, but when talking about solid things (like veges), 4 ounces is measuring weight, so 4 ounces could be 1/4 cup, 1 cup, or 100 cups depending on how dense whatever you are measuring is. It's best to use a food scale (on amazon pretty inexpensively) to measure solid ounces. :flowerforyou:
