Ufuna ukwazi apho ukhoyoitshokolethiisuka?Kuya kufuneka uhambe kwiindawo ezishushu nezifumileyo apho imvula ine rhoqo kwaye iimpahla zakho zincamathele emqolo ngexesha lasehlotyeni.Kwiifama ezincinci, uya kufumana imithi egcwele iziqhamo ezinkulu, ezimibalabala ezibizwa ngokuba yi-cocoo pods - nangona ingajongeki njengayo nayiphi na into ongayifumana kwivenkile enkulu.

Ngaphakathi kwemidumba kukhula imbewu esiyibilisayo, siyigcadayo, siyicolile, siyicolekisile, siyiqukuqele, sibumbe ukuze senze iitshokolethi zethu esizithandayo.

Ngoko, makhe sihlolisise ngokweenkcukacha esi siqhamo simangalisayo noko sikuso.

I-cocoo pods esandul' ukuvunwa;ezi ziza kunqunyulwa phakathi zilungele ukuqokelela imbewu.

UKUSAHLISA I-CACAO POD

Imidumba yekhokho ihluma “kwimiqamelo yeentyatyambo” kumasebe omthi wekoko.Theobroma cocoo, okanye “ukutya koothixo,” ukuchaneka).UPedro Varas Valdez, umvelisi wekoko osuka eGuayaquil, e-Ecuador, undixelela ukuba inkangeleko yemidumba – ezaziwa njenge.mazorcangeSpanish - iya kwahluka kakhulu kuxhomekeke kuluhlu, imfuzo, ummandla, kunye nokunye.

Kodwa zonke zinesakhiwo esifanayo xa uziqhawula zivuleke.

U-Eduardo Salazar, ovelisa ikokhokho kwi-Finca Joya Verde e-El Salvador, undixelela ukuba “Iicocoo pods zenziwe nge-exocarp, i-mesocarp, i-endocarp, i-funicle, imbewu kunye ne-pulp.”

I-anatomy ye-cocoo pod.

I-Exocarp

Icocoa exocarp liqokobhe elishinyeneyo lomdumba.Njengomaleko wangaphandle, unobuso obunamaqabunga osebenza ukukhusela isiqhamo sonke.

Ngokungafaniyo nekofu, edla ngokuba luhlaza xa ingekavuthwa kwaye ibomvu - okanye ngamanye amaxesha i-orenji, tyheli, okanye ipinki, kuxhomekeke kwiindidi - xa ivuthiwe, i-cocoo exocarp iza kumnyama wemibala.Njengoko uAlfredo Mena, umvelisi wekofu kunye nekoko eFinca Villa España, e-El Salvador, endixelela, “Unokufumana uhlaza, obomvu, omthubi, omfusa, opinki nazo zonke iithowuni zazo ngokulandelelana kwazo.”

Umbala we-exocarp uya kuxhomekeka kwizinto ezimbini: umbala wendalo we-pod kunye nenqanaba lokuvuthwa kwawo.UPedro undixelela ukuba kuthatha iinyanga ezine ukuya kwezintlanu ukuze umdumba ukhule kwaye uvuthwe.Uthi: “Umbala wayo usixelela ukuba sele ilungile.Apha, e-Ecuador, umbala wepod ukwahluka ngokwemibala emininzi, kodwa kukho imibala emibini esisiseko, eluhlaza nobomvu.Umbala oluhlaza (otyheli xa sele ukhulile) ukhethekileyo kwicocoo yeNacional, ngelixa imibala ebomvu okanye emfusa (orenji xa ivuthiwe) ikhona kwiCriollo neTrinitario (CCN51).”

Ikhokho eluhlaza, engavuthwanga ikhula emthini okwiFinca Joya Verde, El Salvador.

Icocoo yeNacional, iCriollo, iTrinitario CCN51: zonke ezi zibhekisa kwiindidi ezahlukeneyo.Kwaye zininzi zezi.

Ngokomzekelo, uEduardo undixelela ukuba, “Iimpawu zekoko eSalvador Criollo zinde, zitsolo, zinamalinge kwayecundeamor[ivatala ekrakra] okanyeangolettaiifom [ezijikelezileyo ngakumbi].Itshintsha ukusuka kwimibala eluhlaza ukuya kubomvu obukhulu xa amanqanaba okukhula elungile, kunye nembewu emhlophe kunye ne-pulp emhlophe.

“Omnye umzekelo, i-Ocumare, yiCriollo yanamhlanje efana nohlobo lwe-'Trinitario' enococeko lwama-89%.Inombhobho omde ofana neSalvadoran Criollo, enokutshintsha kombala ukusuka kumaqunube ukuya kuorenji xa amanqanaba okukhula elungile.Nangona kunjalo, iimbotyi ze-cocoo zimfusa kunye nombindi omhlophe ... Konke kuxhomekeke kutshintsho lwe-cocoa, oluxhomekeke kummandla, imozulu, iimeko zomhlaba, njl.

Ngesi sizathu, kubalulekile ukuba umlimi asazi isityalo sakhe.Ngaphandle kolu lwazi, abanakukwazi ukuxela xa iipods zivuthiwe - into ephambili kumgangatho wetshokolethi.

Imidumba yeCacao isondela kwinqanaba eligqibeleleyo lokuvuthwa eFinca Joya Verde, El Salvador.

I-Mesocarp

Lo maleko ongqindilili, oqinileyo uhlala phantsi kwe-exocarp.Idla ngokuba nenkuni kancinci.

I-Endocarp

I-endocarp ilandela i-mesocarp kwaye ngumaleko wokugqibela "weqokobhe" elijikeleze iimbotyi zekhokho kunye nepulp.Njengoko sisiya phambili ngaphakathi kwi-cocoo pod, iba manzi kancinci kwaye ithambe.Nangona kunjalo, yongeza ukwakheka kunye nokuqina kwipod.

Nangona ibalulekile kwimpilo yesi sityalo, uEduardo undixelela ukuba “umaleko wecocoo pod (exocarp, mesocarp, neendocarp) awuchaphazeli nangayiphi na indlela incasa.”

I-Cacao Pulp

Ii-eds zigqunywe ngentlama emhlophe, encangathi okanye i-mucilage esuswa kuphela ngexesha lokuvundiswa.Njengakwikofu, i-pulp inenani eliphezulu leswekile.Ngokungafaniyo nekofu, nangona kunjalo, inokusetyenziselwa yona ngokwayo.

UPedro undixelela oku, “Abanye abantu benza ijusi, utywala, iziselo, iice cream, nejem [ngayo].Inencasa eyodwa, emuncu kwaye abanye abantu bathi ineempawu zokuthambisa. ”

UNicholas Yamada, ingcali yetshokholethi yaseSão Paulo, wongezelela ukuba iyafana nejackfruit kodwa ayinamandla kangako.“Iasidi ekhaphukhaphu, iswiti kakhulu, 'iTutti Frutti gum'-like," uyachaza.

I-Cacao pod inqunyulwe phakathi, ishiya imbewu egqunywe yipulp ibonakala.

IRachis/Funicle kunye nePlacenta

Ayiyombewu nje elele ngaphakathi kwintlaka.Uya kufumana kwakhona i-funicle edibeneyo phakathi kwabo.Esi sisikhondo esibhityileyo, esifana nentambo encamathela imbewu kwiplacenta.I-funicle kunye ne-placenta, njenge-pulp, iyaphuka ngexesha lokuvundiswa.

I-cocoo pod yahlulwe phakathi ngexesha lokulungiswa, ityhila i-pulp, iimbotyi kunye ne-funicle.

IimbewuyeCacao Pod

Kwaye ekugqibeleni, sifikelela eyona nxalenye ibalulekileyo - kuthi!– kwi-cocoa pod: iimbewu.Ezi zezona zinto ekugqibeleni zijikwe zaba ziibhari zethu zetshokolethi kunye neziselo.

UAlfredo ucacisa esithi: “Ngaphakathi, ufumana iimbotyi zekhokho, ezigqunywe ngentlama, zicwangciswe ngokwemiqolo ejikeleza iplacenta okanye irachis ngendlela yokuba ifane nesikhwebu sombona.”

I-Eh Chocolatier ithi imbewu imile okwee-almonds ezisicaba, kwaye uya kufumana ama-30 ukuya kuma-50 kuzo kwi-pod.

Ii-cocoo pods ze-Trinitario ezivuthiweyo;imbewu igqunywe ngepulp emhlophe.

INGABA SINGAYISEBENZISA YONKE I-CACAO POD?

Ke, ukuba imbewu ye-cocoa kuphela kwesiqhamo esiphela kwitshokolethi yethu, ngaba oko kuthetha ukuba okuseleyo kuya kumosha?

Akunjalo.

Sele siyichazile into yokuba i-pulp inokutyiwa yodwa.Ukongezelela, uEduardo undixelela ukuba, “Kumazwe akuMbindi Merika, ikoko [ephuma kwimveliso] isenokusetyenziswa ekondleni imfuyo.”

UAlfredo wongezelela ngelithi “ukusetyenziswa kwecocoa pod kuyahlukahlukana.Kumsitho wekoko eThailand, baye batya isidlo sangokuhlwa esinezidlo ezingaphezu kwama-70 ezahlukeneyo ezahlukahlukeneyo ezaziquka isuphu, irayisi, inyama, izimuncumuncu, iziselo nezinye.”

Kwaye uPedro uyacacisa ukuba, naxa imveliso engasetyenziswanga, isenokusetyenziswa kwakhona.“Iqokobhe lomdumba, lakuba livunwe ngokwesiqhelo, lishiyeka kwintsimi yezityalo kuba impukane iForcipomyia (isinambuzane esincedisa ekusasazekeni kwentyatyambo yekoko) iza kubekela amaqanda ayo apho.Emva koko [iqokobhe] liphinda lifakwe emhlabeni xa sele lonakele,” utsho.“Amanye amafama enza umgquba ngala maqokobhe kuba etyebile kwi potassium kwaye anceda ekuphuculeni izinto eziphilayo emhlabeni.”
