Lezi zithelo ezincane ezimnandi ezisukela ombaleni ophuzi, obomvu kuya onsomi-zimnyama zigcwele izakhi kanye, futhi ziqukethe ingcebo yezinzuzo zezempilo.

E-Ningizimu Afrika, kukhiqizwa izithelo ezisamathunduluka amnandi kuphela, ama-Prunus avium, kepha amakherubi ama-tart noma omuncu, ama-Prunus cerasus, asetshenziswa ekubhaka  emazweni anjengeRussia, i-USA ne-Ukraine. Umkhiqizo omkhulu wamakhherubi amnandi avela eTurkey amashumi eminyaka, kepha muva nje iChile yaba ngumlimi omkhulu wamakha amnandi emhlabeni.

E-Ningizimu Afrika, ngaphezu kwesigamu ukukhiqizwa kwamathani ayi-1 000 futhi kuthengiswa njengezithelo ezintsha zokudla, kubathengisi bendawo nasezimakethe, kuyilapho kuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe cishe ama-26%. Enye i-8% iyacutshungulwa.

Imikhiqizo Yokusamathunduluka

Ngaphandle kwamakheshi amasha amnandi akhona njengeGreyidi 1 noma iBanga 2 ejwayelekile futhi apakishwe ngamaphakethe wepulasitiki noma emabhokisini angama-5 kg, ama-cherries asetshenziswa futhi ukwenza ama-cherry liqueurs newayini.

Eminye imikhiqizo ye-cherry enjenge-cherry sauces, jams, cherries ne-glazilated ayenziwa naseNingizimu Afrika. Ama-cherries omisiwe, anofulawa, omisiwe kanye nofulawa emaphaketheni ayatholakala. Kepha i-cherry concentrate (yejusi njll) iyangeniswa.

Ama-cherries aqhakazisiwe akhiqizwa eFicksburg esifundazweni saseFree State ngenqubo elula kepha ethatha isikhathi. Ngokwesiko ama-cherries aphuzi asetshenziswa, akhethwe ngaphambi nje kokuba abomvu. Uma iqala ukubomvu, kufanele ifakelwe uphawu noma kube nezibunji lapho ikhazimula. Ama-Cherry axutshwe nesixazululo se-metabisulphite amasonto ayisithupha, ahlelwe ngesandla, asikwe ngosayizi futhi akhandwa ngamatshe. Ama-cherries abilisiwe izinsuku ezinhlanu ku-90°C futhi abiliswe ku-50°C amasonto amabili. Ngemuva kwenqubo yokupheka, kufakwa ushukela kanye nama-colourants.

Ngaphambi kokupakisha, ama-cherries akhazinyulisiwe adluliswa phezu kwetafula elikhanyayo ukubheka ukuthi ngabe zonke izimbumbulu ziyasuswa. Ama-cherries aqhakazisiwe athandwa kakhulu ekubhaka ubusuku bonke e-Easter nakuKhisimusi.

Ukucutshungulwa kwama-cherries aphuzi kungahlukaniswa ngezigaba ezintathu: ama-cherries aqhakazisiwe, ama-Maraschino kanye nama-cherries angenalo ukopha ezitsheni ezihlanganisiwe. Cishe ama-10% ama-cherries asetshenzisiwe avela eNingizimu Afrika; amanye angeniswa evela e-Italy.

Ayini ama-Maraschino Cherries?

Ama-cherries e-Maraschino akuyona i-cherry ehlukahlukene kepha i-cherry ebomvu-ekhanyayo nebunjiwe, evame ukusetshenziswa kuma-cocktails kanye nama-dessert, njengama-ice okhilimu.

Ama-cheras e-maraschino asekuqaleni avela ku-'marasca', ikhebula elincane elimuncu, elimnyama elikhule endle ogwini lwaseCroatia. Ibigcinwe ngokuyisondeza ku-liqueur ebizwa ngokuthi yi-'Marccino'. Ama Cherry akhiqizwa ngokuthengisa iMarchchino awagcinwanga notshwala, kepha kunalokho kwisisombululo sikashukela, lapho ukuhlanganiswa kwe-calcium kugcina ama-cherries eqinile.

Izinzuzo Zokusamathunduluka

Ama-Cherry angukudla okunezakhi-ezinohlonze, aphansi kuma-kilojoules kepha aphakeme nge-fiber, polyphenols, carotenoids, Vitamin C ne-potassium. Ama-polyphenols, ama-carotenoid namaVithamini E no-C anikela ngezakhi ze-antioxidant nezokulwa nokuvuvukala kwama-cherries. Imiphumela evela ocwaningweni yathola ukuthi ukudla ama-cherries kunganciphisa ingozi yezifo ezithathelwanayo kufaka phakathi isifo samathambo, isifo senhliziyo nomdlavuza. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izifundo zithole ubufakazi bokuthi ukusetshenziswa kwe-cherry kungakhuthaza ukulawulwa kwe-glucose enempilo futhi kunganciphisa izehlakalo noma ubukhali besifo samathambo.

Ama-cherries amnandi aphezulu kakhulu kuma-antioxidants futhi kakhulu nangama-tart (omuncu) ama-cherries, anokuqukethwe okufanayo koshukela okufana nama-cherries amnandi. Ama-tart cherries aqukethe i-phytochemicals emuncu futhi ebabayo futhi ephakeme ngamazinga e-antioxidant.

Ngaphandle kwama-antioxidants, ama-cherries ukuphela komthombo wemvelo we-melatonin, i-hormone elawula imijikelezo yomzimba yokulala.

Ngicela uqaphele:
Imininingwane yenzelwe izinjongo zokufundisa nezolwazi kuphela futhi angeke zithathwe njengeseluleko sezokwelashwa. Imininingwane ayihloselwe ukufaka esikhundleni izeluleko zezokwelashwa noma ukwelashwa okunikezwa ochwepheshe bezokunakekelwa kwempilo.
