Amawolintshi
Izinhlobo ezisetshenziswa kakhulu amawolintshi eNingizimu Afrika amaNavels namaValencias. Inkaba zivame ukuvuthwa ngaphambi kweValencias. Inkaba ibonakala ngesithelo esincane “sesibili” sangaphakathi esikhula ngaphansi kwesithelo. Izithelo zibizwa ngokuthi inkaba njengoba lesi sici sifana nenkaba yomuntu. AmaValencias aqanjwa ngegama ledolobha laseSpain iValencia yize imvelaphi yayo yangempela ingaziwa. Ama-Valencias ngokuvamile amnandi kakhulu futhi anesikhumba esidonsayo kunezinkaba futhi ikakhulukazi atshalwa ukukhiqizwa kwejusi.

Amawolintshi angoluhlobo olukhulu kakhulu we-citrus waseNingizimu Afrika futhi angama-60% ezitolo zaseNingizimu Afrika ezazithunyelwa kwamanye amazwe. Ukuvunwa kweValencia yaseNingizimu Afrika kuwuhlobo olukhulu kakhulu lwamawolintshi okufanele kukhiqizwe futhi kuthunyelwe kwamanye amazwe kusuka eNingizimu Afrika futhi kuphindeka kabili inani lemikhiqizo yezinkaba.

Ulamula
Ulamula kanye nama-limes ziyizinhlobo ezimbili ezihlukile zezithelo. Lemons ikakhulukazi atshalwa ezindaweni ezinesimo sezulu esijabulisayo, kanti ngokuvamile ama-limes akhiqizwa ezindaweni ezishisayo nezinesimo sezulu esishisayo. Lezi zithelo zombili zinomunxa we-acid noma omuncu futhi zisetshenziselwa umhlaba wonke ngezinhlobonhlobo zezicelo. Ngaphandle kokusetshenziswa kwabo emkhakheni wokudla neziphuzo, okukhishwa kalamula kanye no-lime nakho kuyasetshenziswa emithini, izimonyo nakwimikhiqizo yokuhlanza. Ukufunwa okuhle kwamalamula kube nomphumela wokuthi imikhiqizo yaseNingizimu Afrika ekhula ngokushesha kulo mkhakha wamawolintshi eminyakeni yamuva nje.

Isithelo Segilebhisi
Amagilebhisi luhlobo olukhulu kakhulu lwamawolintshi. Ngokwesiko kudliwa njengesithelo sasekuseni futhi kusongwe nojusi. Umsuka wegama lesithelo usho iphethini ekhulayo, njengoba izithelo zivame ukukhula ndawonye futhi ukubukeka kufana nesixha samagilebhisi. Izinhlobo zamagilebhisi zihlukaniswe ngamagilebhisi amhlophe nanombala. Amagilebhisi agqotshisiwe aqukethe i-lycopene, eyayinikeza umbala opinki noma obomvu wezinhlobonhlobo zezimbali. Isidingo esihle semakethe yamagilebhisi abomvu (atshalwe ngotshani) ezimakethe eziseMpumalanga Ekude sikhulisa ukuthengisa nokukhula okuthe xaxa embonini yaseNingizimu Afrika.

I-Soft Citrus
I-laini yamawolintshi isho isigatshana sezithelo zezithelo zomndeni wamawolinshi ezinezikhumba ezivulekile futhi kwesinye isikhathi zibizwa ngokuthi 'ama-peelers alula'. Lokhu kufaka ama-mandarin, ama-clementine, ama-satsumas, ama-mineolas kanye nama-tangerine. Lezi zithelo ezimnandi zifunwa kakhulu emhlabeni jikelele ngenxa yokunambitheka kwabo kanye nesikhumba esivele. Amawolintshi athambile abhekene nokukhula okukhulu emhlabeni wonke futhi naseNingizimu Afrika, imikhiqizo ethambile yamawolintshi nayo iyanda ngokushesha ezweni lonke.

Ama-Kumquats
Ama-Kumquats ayizithelo ezincane ezinemibala e-orange. Ngenkathi ikhasi linephunga elimnandi futhi linephunga elimnandi, isithelo simuncu ngokusobala. Izithelo zingadliwa ziphekwe kepha zisetshenziselwa kakhulu ukwenza ama-marmalade, ama-jellies, nokunye ukusakazeka.
