Isikwashi (Cucurbita maxima)

Ithanga (ithanga okanye isikwashi) yenye yeemifuno ezininzi zaseMelika eza eYurophu ukutyebisa ukutya kweMeditera. Inzalelwa kuMbindi Merika kwaye ukulinywa kwayo kuxhaphakile kumhlaba waseMelika nakwindawo ezishushu neziphakathi zaseYurophu, kubandakanya neSpain.

Incasa yayo imnandi egudileyo, ityebile ngefayibha kwaye ineepropathi ezininzi zesondloKungenxa yoko le nto ikho kwiizitya ezininzi, isitshixo seedessert. Yenye yemifuno enezinga eliphezulu lee-antioxidants, iphezulu kwi-potassium, inamanzi amaninzi, ityebile kwiivithamini kwaye iphantsi kwisodiyam, ngoko ke inokudliwa zizigulana ezinexinzelelo.

Nge-100 yeethanga nganye kukho iikhalori ezingama-28, iigremu eziyi-1,4 zefayibha, iigram ezi-5,6 zeecarbohydrate, i-0,1 yegrama yamanqatha akukho cholesterol. Ithanga liluncedo kangangokuba nembewu yalo eyosiweyo iluncedo, kuba ityebile ngemagniziyam.

Izinzuzo

• Ithanga licoleka lula, ilungele abantu abaneengxaki zokwetyisa njenge-gastritis, nditsho nakwiintsana eziqala ukutya ukutya kwazo kokuqala kosana.
• Yehlisa i-cholesterol egazini kwaye ibonelele nge-iron ukuyityebisa. Kuba isezantsi kwisodium, Ithanga lilunge kakhulu kubantu abanexinzelelo.
• Ithanga lininzi emanzini, ke isisu esilungileyo sempilo yezintso kwaye ilawula ukugcinwa kwamanzi.
• Ithanga ineziphumo ezichasayo kwaye iyayithanda imveliso ye-insulin, iyenza ilungele abantu abaneswekile ngenxa yamanqanaba asezantsi eswekile kunye neecarbohydrate.

Ukulima kunye nokhathalelo

Ithanga yimifuno engakhuli kwindawo ebandayo, ke ngoko ukuhlwayela kunye nokulima kufuneka kwenziwe ekupheleni kobusika, enyanisweni, elona xesha lilungileyo lokuhlwayela liphela ngentwasahlobo kwaye isivuno sayo kukuwa okulandelayo.

Isityalo sethanga siyarhubuluza, sifana neevatala, into ethetha ukuba isityalo ngasinye kufuneka sibe phakathi kwe-1,5 ne-3 yeemitha ngaphandle kwesinye. Isityalo kufuneka sifumane ilanga elininzi, kwaye ukuba ityalwe ecaleni kocingo ukuze ikhule kuyo, isityalo kufuneka sibe kwindawo enelanga, kude neendonga okanye eminye imithi emikhulu ethintela ukudlula kwemitha yelanga.

Umhlaba olungele isikwashi ngumhlaba, utyebile kwaye ngaphandle kwamanzi amileyo, yiyo loo nto Kuyacetyiswa ukuba uqale uchumise umhlaba phambi kokuhlwayela. Malunga nobushushu bokusingqongileyo, kuyacetyiswa ukuba bube phakathi kwe-18º C kunye ne-35º C.

Imbewu yethanga kufuneka ihlanjwe kakuhle kwaye yomiswe lilanga phambi kokuhlwayela. Ukuba kunyanzelekile ukuba kulindelwe ukuhlwayelwa (ngexesha elibandayo) kuya kufuneka kwenziwe kwiibhedi zembewu ezenziwe ngeengqayi ezinemingxunya. Umhlaba kufuneka wenziwe umhlaba we-60% kunye ne-40% yehumus wombungu kwaye ubeke imbewu ezintathu kwibhedi nganye, ekufuneka igutyungelwe ngesentimitha yomhlaba kunye namanzi ngamanzi amaninzi.

Xa utyalwe kumhlaba oqinileyo (ekupheleni kwentwasahlobo) Kufuneka kongezwe iinxalenye ezimbini ze-worms humus kwaye kufuneka kususwe naziphi na iingcambu okanye amatye achaphazela ukukhula, kumgama ophakathi kwe-1,5 kunye ne-3 yeemitha phakathi kwazo, njengoko sele kukhankanyiwe.

Kubalulekile ukuba umngqusho awudibani ngqo nomhlaba uwukhusele ungonakali, emva koko kufuneka ixhaswe yitera, ilitye okanye ikreyiti yomthi.

Ukuvunwa kwamathanga kwenzeka phakathi kweenyanga ezintathu zokuqala ezintlanu zobomi emva kokutyala, kuxhomekeke kudidi lwesikwashi. Kufuneka ivunwe ishiye isixa esifanelekileyo sesiqu ukuze yonge ulondolozo lwayo. Isikwashi esivunyiweyo kufuneka sigcinwe kwindawo ezipholileyo nezomileyo.

Izinambuzane

Ezona ntshaba ziphambili zethanga zezi iinkumba, iimpukane kunye neentwala, emva koko kuyacetyiswa ukufaka umxube wamanzi kunye nee-clove zegalikhi ezityumkileyo ezilungiselelwe iintsuku ezininzi kwangaphambili.

Esona sifo siphambili ngumngundo, onxulumene nengcambu kunye nokubola kwesithsaba. Ibonakalisa ukuvela kohlobo lomgubo omhlophe kumagqabi. Kuyaliwa ngomxube weglasi yamanzi kunye neetispuni ezintathu zesoda yokubhaka.

Kubalulekile gcina ukufuma komhlaba kuphantsi kolawulo Kwaye thintela ukuba ithanga linxibelelana ngqo nomhlaba, ngale ndlela ukubonakala kwezifo kuthintelwe.
