Igama elithi “ukungunda” lineentsingiselo ezimbini: Kwelinye icala, lithetha umngundo esiwazi kakhulu ngokutya okonakeleyo. Kodwa iya kwamkeleka, umzekelo njengomaleko wangaphandle wetshizi ethambileyo.
Kwelinye icala, igama elithi “ukusa” likwathetha ihashe elimhlophe okanye eliphantse limhlophe. Igama mhlawumbi livela kwinto yokuba isonka esinongunda ekuqaleni sibonakala simhlophe okanye singwevu kancinci. Ukuze kucace, umntu udla ngokuthetha ngehashe njengehashe elingwevu kwaye uthetha ukungunda okumhlophe kwelinye.
Umngundo usasazwa ngeembewu ezisemoyeni. Iintsholongwane zokungunda zihambelana nembewu kwiintyatyambo kunye neziqhamo. Iintsholongwane zefungal zinokungena ekutyeni phambi kokuba sikuthenge. Ukuba umoya ke unobushushu obufanelekileyo kunye nokufuma, iimbewu zokungunda zikhula zibe yi-mycelium emhlophe ekuhambeni kwexesha.
Luluphi uhlobo lokungunda olufunyanwa ngabantu luyingozi?
Siyazi ngundo ekutyeni okudala. Isonka, iziqhamo, kunye nemifuno efana neekherothi, kodwa kunye netshizi enzima zichaphazeleka ngakumbi. Abantwana abaninzi besikolo baye bafumana isangweji engumngundo kwiingxowa zabo emva kweeholide. Ukutya okungundayo kunokuba yityhefu ebantwini.
Umngundo nawo usasazeke kwezolimo. Umzekelo, amaqunube asengozini kakhulu xa kunetha ixesha elide. Emva koko amagqabi kunye neziqhamo zigqunywe ngomqolo omhlophe. Umlimi unokukulwa oku ngezitshizi, kodwa zona zihlala ziyityhefu ngokwazo. Iindawo zokugcina izityalo zibonelela ngokhuseleko olungcono kuba unokulawula ngcono ukuba kufuneka kufuma kangakanani na.
Umngundo unokuvela nakwiindonga zeendawo zokuhlala. Iyenzeka ikakhulu kwizindlu eziqeleleneyo nezingangeni moya kakuhle. Kule meko, ingcali kufuneka ifike emsebenzini, kuba ukuhlala kumagumbi anobundi akubi kakhulu.
Kwindalo, nangona kunjalo, kunengqiqo ukuba ukungunda kuya kuqhekeza ukutya okanye iinkuni. Oku kunegalelo kwinto yokuba zonke izityalo ziphinda zibe ngumhlaba omtsha kwakhona ekugqibeleni. Ngoko ke kwenza umahluko omkhulu enoba umthi ohlaselweyo uphantsi kwehlathi okanye isilingi.
Loluphi uhlobo lokungunda olubonwa luluncedo ebantwini?
Malunga nowe-1900, u-Alexander Fleming waseSkotlani wafumanisa ukuba iyeza lokubulala iintsholongwane ekuthiwa yi-penicillin linokufumaneka kumngundo. Ungayisebenzisa ukulwa nenyumoniya okanye isibetho, umzekelo. Ngaphambi koko, kwafa izigidi zabantu.
Imingundo ethile iyathandwa ekwenzeni isonka samasi. Kwelinye icala, kukho isonka samasi esimhlophe. Ithambile ngaphakathi kwaye inomaleko omhlophe ngaphandle obangelwa ngundo. Iindidi ezaziwayo-kakuhle ziCamembert kunye neBrie zaseFransi. Kwelinye icala, kukho itshizi yokungunda eluhlaza. Yaziwa kakhulu njengeGorgonzola evela eItali.
Namhlanje siyazi ngokungunda okukhethekileyo okunokutyiwa ngolo hlobo. Namhlanje zikhuliswa kwimizi-mveliso. Oku kufuna isisombululo sezondlo kunye noshukela. Emva koko eli khowa lithengiswa lixutywe neevithamini, iiminerali neqanda endaweni yenyama.
