Ukukhiqizwa kweBuckwheat

© Jasper Teboc (North Carolina State University)

I-Buckwheat (i-Fagopyrum esculentum) iyisitshalo sezimbali minyaka yonke esikhula sifike ku-1,2m nge-taproot engajulile kanye nenkathi yokukhula emfushane. Itshalwa imbewu yayo emincane engunxantathu ukuze isetshenziswe ngabantu, njengokudla kwezilwane nanjengesitshalo sekhava.

'K okusanhlamvu okukhethekile' akuhlobene nekolweni. Kodwa-ke, noma ingasuki emndenini wotshani njengezinhlamvu, ihlukaniswa phakathi okusanhlamvu.

Lendabuko e-Southeast Asia futhi ikhuliselwe lapho iminyaka yeminyaka. Ikhule eChina cishe ngo-1000 A.D., yethulwa eYurophu ngekhulu le-15 yabe isisakazekela e-U.S ngekhulu le-17.

Abakhiqizi beBuckwheat

I-Russia ne China ngabakhiqizi abakhulu be-buckwheat emhlabeni onamahektha angaphezu kwama-700 000 nama-661 000 ngokulandelana. Abanye abakhiqizi bafaka i-Ukraine (167 000 ha), i-France (111 000 ha) ne-USA (83 000 ha).

Ukusetshenziswa kwe-buckwheat eSewula Afrika kukhawulelwe - kusetshenziswa ikakhulu njengesitshalo sekhava. I-Buckwheat yatshalwa kabanzi emashumini ambalwa eminyaka edlule, kodwa ngenxa yezinsalela zayo zokuvunwa ezingezinhle nokuncika okubanzi ezinsaleleni zezitshalo zokudla kwezilwane, ukukhiqizwa kwe-buckwheat kwezimbewu zayo kuncane.

Ukusetshenziswa kwe-Buckwheat

I-Buckwheat ayinayo i-gluten-glitter, iphezulu ngamaprotheni, i-fibre, i-magnesium, i-calcium, i-potassium, i-phosphorus, i-asidi enamafutha: i-omega 3 ne-6, niacin ne-folate.

Imbewu ye-Buckwheat, kodwa ikakhulukazi amaqabunga, aqukethe i-rutin i-pigment yesitshalo, eyaziwa ngokuqinisa izindonga ze-capillary. Itiye le-buckwheat eluhlaza inezinga eliphakeme le-rutin futhi ngenxa yalokho inenzuzo yokunciphisa umkhawulo wesifo senhliziyo, inciphisa ubungozi bokuqina kwemithambo futhi nomphumela wayo wokulwa ne-oxidative. Okusanhlamvu kudliwa kuphelele noma kukhululiwe, kuphekwe ku-porridge, emhlabathini kube ufulawa noma kusetshenziswe njengama-groats.

Imbewu esetshenzisiwe, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-buckwheat groats, iyathandwa (eluhlaza noma ihlumela) ekudleni okuluhlaza futhi isetshenziselwa amasaladi, ifakwa kumasobho kanye naku-stews futhi isetshenziswa kuma-crackers kanye ne-granola.

Ufulawa we-Buckwheat (owenziwe kusuka ezinhlanyelweni zomhlaba) usetshenziselwa ukwenza ama-noodle futhi ufakwe ezingxubevange zokubhaka ezingenawo ama-gluten. Imbewu ye-buckwheat ethosiwe ibizwa nge- kasha. I-kasha ebomvu ngombala ine-flavour eqinile, enambithekile.

Ufulawa wendabuko eRussia, ePoland nakwamanye amazwe ase-East-European, ama-buckwheat nawo asetshenziselwa ukwenza uviniga, ubhiya, notshwala netiye.

Ama-buckwheat husks (ngemuva kokuba imbewu isusiwe) angondliwa ngozilo (izinkomo, izimvu, izimbuzi, njll.) Nezinkukhu.

Ngenxa yokuthandwa kwezimbali ze-buckwheat ngezinyosi, uju lungaba ngumqhumo kwabalimi abasebenza ngesihlahla sebhanti. Uju lwe-Buckwheat luphezulu ngamaprotheni futhi liqukethe ama-22 kwezingama-24 zezinto ezibalulekile zokulandela umkhondo lapho insimbi inala khona.
