Umsuka ngqo wamajikijolo awaziwa ngoba ziningi izinhlobo ezahlukahlukene ezikhiqizwe emhlabeni wonke. Njengomdabu wase-Eurasia naseNyakatho Melika, amajikijolo asetshenziswa ekuqaleni kwezikhathi zamaGrikhi nezamaRoma kanye namaNdiya aseMelika njengokudla, umuthi nodayi.
Ukukhetha izinto zezitshalo kwaqala kuphela phakathi nendawo kuze kube sekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1800. Ngenkathi ukukhiqizwa kwaba kuvame kakhulu ukuthengiswa kwasendaweni ngabo-1900s.
Ukukhiqizwa Kwamanye Amazwe
Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, ukukhiqizwa kwe-blackberry bekulokhu kukhula ngokuqinile ukuhambisana nesidingo esikhuphukayo. Lokhu kuqhutshwe ngabezempilo abathi kukhuthaza abathengi ukuthi badle izithelo ezintsha. Isidingo besikhula ngoba ama-amajikijolo ukudla okulula njengokulula okungenamfucumfucu, futhi kwenza okungeziwe kokudla okusanhlamvu kwasekuseni kanye nama-yoghurts.
Ukuthuthukiswa kwezinhlobo ezintsha kusiza abakhiqizi ukuthi bahlangabezane nokulindelwe kwabathengi ngokwenza ngcono ukunambitheka, ukukhiqizwa kalula, ikhwalithi yokhwalifishi kanye nekhwalithi yama-berry. I-United States, iYurophu neMexico ngabakhiqizi abahamba phambili.
Ukukhiqiza Ezweni
Ukukhiqizwa kwamajikijolo kuncane eNingizimu Afrika futhi kubikezelwe ukuhlala ngale ndlela eminyakeni embalwa ezayo. Enye yezinselelo ezinkulu kakhulu embonini ukuthi izinhlobo ezintshalwe lapho azilungelanga kahle ukuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe. Noma kunjalo, izinhlobo ezintsha ziyatholakala ezingasiza ukubhekana nale nselelo.
Ukukhiqiza
Amajikijolo akhula kahle enhlabathini ejulile, enamanzi amaningi, enezinto ezinemvelo ephakeme futhi njengamanje ikhiqizwa eNtshonalanga Kapa, eFree State, North West, eGauteng naseLimpopo. Cishe ama-80% ezitshalo akhiqizwa emhubheni, kanti konke okunye kukhiqizwa emasimini avulekile.
Isikhathi Sokukhiqiza
Amajikijolo ayisithelo sasehlobo, kanti nenkathi yokukhiqiza eNingizimu Afrika iqala ngoNovemba kuya ngendawo yokukhiqiza nezinhlobonhlobo.
Izinhlobo
Kunezinhlobonhlobo zezinhlobonhlobo, okungezindlela zokulandela umkhondo noma eziqondile, ezinamazinga ahlukahlukene obukhulu. Izinhlobo ezivulekile zivame ukubanda kakhulu kunezinhlobo ezinzima.
Izitshalo ze-Blackberry zithatha iminyaka emithathu ukuze zifinyelele ekuvuthweni futhi zihlale zikhiqiza iminyaka eyi-12. Ngo-2018, cishe ama-52% amajikijolo atshalwe lapha eNingizimu Afrika ayemncane kuneminyaka emithathu ubudala kanti angaphezu kwama-40% ayemdala kuneminyaka eyisikhombisa, njengoba kuvezwa yiSA Berry Producers Association.
Ukuthengisa
Inhlangano yabakhiqizi iSA Berry ikusho ukuthi iNingizimu Afrika ikhiqize cishe amathani angama-225 amajikijolo ngonyaka we-2018, kwathi kuwo angama-48% yathunyelwa kwamanye amazwe, ama-41% athengiswa endaweni kwathi ama-11% asetshenziswa. Bangaphezu kuka-90% abathunyelwa kwamanye amazwe abaya eYurophu kanti abanye baya eMiddle East.
Ukusetshenziswa
Ama-amajikijolo abhekwa njengokudla okuphezulu, ngoba ucebile ngamavithamini A, C no-E, amaminerali afana ne-potassium, i-magnesium ne-calcium, kanye ne-fiber and antioxidants. Zonke lezi zakhi zomsoco kukholakala ukuthi zisiza ukuvikela izifo zenhliziyo.
Amajikijolo angajatshuliswa amasha, asetshenziswa empahleni ebhakwe, efriziwe noma ecutshungulwe ukuze asetshenziswe kuma-dessert, ama-juices, ama-tea, ama-yoghurts kanye nama-jams. Izimpande kuthiwa zisiza ekwelapheni isifo sohudo kanye nohudo. Ngenkathi izithako zejusi kuthiwa zivikela isikhumba ezifweni nasekugugeni ngaphambi kwesikhathi.
Isexwayiso Sezokwelapha
Lolu lwazi olokufundisa nokwazisa kuphela ngakho-ke akufanelwe luthathwe njengeseluleko sokwelapha. Ngalolu lwazi akuhlosiwe kuvala isikhala seseluleko sezokwelapha noma ukwelapha kodokotela abakhokhelwayo.
