ʻO ka Chestnuts nā lāʻau deciduous. ʻElua mau pūʻulu pili pili ʻole i kekahi i kekahi: ʻo ka ʻono a me ka ʻeke lio. Kāhea pū mākou i ka ʻono ʻono ʻo ka chestnuts hiki ke ʻai ʻia no ka mea hiki ke digestible no ke kanaka.
He meaʻai nā ʻōpala lio no nā holoholona like ʻole, no ka laʻana, nā lio. Ua kapa ʻia ka lio he "steed" ma nā wahi ʻōlelo like ʻole, no ka laʻana ma Switzerland. No laila ka inoa "horse chestnut".
Pehea ka ulu ʻana o nā ʻōpala momona?
Ua laha ʻia ka momona momona a puni ke Kaiwaenahonua i ka wā kahiko. Pono ia i ka mehana nui, no laila ma ka ʻākau o nā Alps, hiki iā ia ke ulu wale i nā wahi me kahi ea maikaʻi loa. Pono ia i ka wai nui akā ʻaʻole ʻae i ka ua i ka wā pua.
ʻO ka hapa nui o nā chestnut momona e ulu a ma kahi o 25 mika ke kiʻekiʻe. Ma muli o ko lākou wahi, hiki iā lākou ke noho ma nā wahi āpau mai 200 a 1000 mau makahiki. Ma kahi o 25 mau makahiki, hoʻomaka ia e pua. Hāʻawi kēlā me kēia lāʻau i nā pua kāne a me nā pua wahine. He elongated a melemele, e like me ka hazel.
No ka nati ka hua. Aia lākou i loko o kahi kīʻaha ʻeleʻele. A puni ka waho e moe ana kekahi, prickly "shell", i oi aku ka pono i kapa 'ia ka "hua kīʻaha". He ʻōmaʻomaʻo mua nā spines, ma hope ʻeleʻele a wehe ke kīʻaha hua.
He ola kino ka nati. He nui ke kō i loko o lākou, no laila e pohō koke lākou. I ka wā ma mua, nui ka poʻe i ʻai nui i ka ʻono. Ua puhi lākou i nā hua hou no ka mālama ʻana. I kēia lā, hana ka ʻoihana i kēia me nā ʻano hana hou.
Ua hānai nā kānaka i nā haneli he nui o nā ʻano ʻono ʻono. Loaʻa iā lākou nā inoa ʻokoʻa: ʻo ka chestnuts a i ʻole ka chestnuts i kapa pinepine ʻia nā hua maikaʻi loa. ʻIke maikaʻi ʻia lākou ma ke kūʻai ke kūʻai ʻia hou a wela. Akā, hoʻohana ʻia lākou i puree a hoʻohana ʻia i loko o ka lumi kuke a i loko o ka hale kuke. Loaʻa i nā ʻano mea ʻai like ʻole nā ʻōpala momona, e like me ka vermicelli a i ʻole coupe Nesselrode.
Akā, pono ʻoe i ka lāʻau chestnut momona no nā lako, nā puka makani a me nā pani puka, nā kaola kaupaku, nā pā kīhāpai, nā barela, nā moku, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe he nui. ʻOi aku ma waho he mea nui ʻaʻole e popopo koke ka lāʻau. I ka wā ma mua, nui ka lanahu i hana ʻia mai ia mea, ʻo ia ka mea e pono ai mākou ma ka grill i kēia lā.
He ʻano meakanu ka ʻono momona. Aia ia i ka genus chestnut, i ka ʻohana beech, i ke ʻano like me ka beech, a i ka papa mea kanu pua.
Pehea ka ulu ʻana o nā kaona lio?
Ke ulu maoli nei nā ʻōpala lio ma ʻEulopa, ʻAsia, a me ʻAmelika ʻĀkau. ʻO kahi ʻano ʻano kūikawā ʻo ia ka "kaona lio maʻamau" mai nā Balkans, ʻo ia hoʻi mai Helene, Albania, a me Makedonia ʻĀkau. Kanu pinepine ia ma na paka a ma na alanui ma na alanui.
He kanakolu mika ke kiʻekiʻe o ka chestnut lio a he 300 mau makahiki. ʻIke maʻalahi lākou e ko lākou mau lau elongated, e ulu maʻamau i ʻelima ma ke kumu, e like me nā manamana lima.
I ʻApelila a me Mei, hoʻohua nā pua liʻiliʻi i loko o nā panicles. Kapa kekahi poʻe he "kukui kukui". He keʻokeʻo ka nui o nā pua, akā hiki ke lilo i ʻulaʻula. I ke kauwela e ulu ana nā hua mai nā pua, nā pōpō'ōmaʻomaʻo liʻiliʻi me nā piko.
I ka malama o Sepatemaba, ua oo na hua a haule i ka lepo. Poha nā pōpō spiked a hoʻokuʻu i ka hua maoli: ʻekolu a ʻelima mau kenimika ka nui me kahi wahi māmā. Kapa ʻia lākou ʻo chestnuts. Makemake nā keiki e pāʻani a hana lima me ia. Akā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻai iā lākou, kūpono wale lākou i mea hānai holoholona. ʻO kēia kahi i loaʻa ai ka inoa horse chestnut mai "Ross" kahi huaʻōlelo kahiko no ka lio.
ʻO ka mea koʻikoʻi e pili ana i nā pahu lio, ʻo ia ka malu a lākou e hāʻawi ai, ʻoi aku hoʻi ma nā paka a me nā māla pia. Hauʻoli ka nalo i ka nui o nā pua. He meaʻai hoʻokipa no nā dia ʻulaʻula a me nā dia roe i ka hoʻoilo. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka lāʻau no ka hana ʻana i nā veneers no nā lako, nā ʻāpana lahilahi i hoʻopili ʻia i nā panela.
He ʻano mea kanu ka ʻākena lio. Aia ia i ka ʻano pua puaʻa lio, i ka ʻohana soapberry, i ke ʻano o ka soapberry, a i ka papa o nā mea kanu pua.
