E mālama i kāu poʻe aloha i ka carob ma kahi o ke kokoleka, a i ʻole e hoʻāʻo e kālua i kahi keke carob olakino.
Koleka a i ʻole nā mea ʻono carob?
Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Carob ma ke ʻano he pani no ke kokoleka, akā ʻo kēia meaʻai meaʻai hoʻowalewale i kona ʻono ponoʻī a me kāna mau pono ponoʻī. Ua like kona waihoʻoluʻu me ke kokoleka ʻeleʻele, ʻoiai he ʻokoʻa ka ʻono, me nā ʻano ʻawaʻawa iki.
ʻOi aku ka ʻono o Carob ma mua o ke kokoleka a no laila he koho maikaʻi loa ia i ke kokoleka, a ʻoi aku ka olakino.
Loaʻa i ka kokoleka nā mea hoʻoulu e like me theobromine, he mea ʻawaʻawa loa. Aia kekahi hapa liʻiliʻi o ka caffeine i loko o ke kokoleka, lawa e hoʻopilikia i ka poʻe pili i ka caffeine. ʻO ka phenylethylamine i loaʻa i loko o ke kokoleka hiki ke hoʻoulu i ke poʻo a me ka migraines.
ʻO Carob, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻohe o kēia mau mea. Eia kekahi, loaʻa pinepine nā hua koko i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka nui o ke kēpau ʻona, ʻaʻole i loaʻa i loko o ka carob.
He ʻono ʻawaʻawa ka kokoleka i uhi pinepine ʻia e ke kō a me ka syrup kulina. He ʻono maoli ʻo Carob a hiki ke leʻaleʻa me ka ʻole o ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā mea ʻono. ʻAʻole hoʻi i loaʻa nā mea hoʻohui waiu, kūpono ia no ka meaʻai vegan.
ʻO ka lāʻau carob he legume a ulu ma nā wahi Mediterranean. Ua ulu maikaʻi ma nā kūlana maloʻo, kahi kūpono ʻole i nā haʻani a me nā pests, no laila ʻaʻole hoʻohana ʻia nā ʻōpala kemika i kāna mahi ʻana. Ke ulu nei kēia lāʻau nui a hiki i 15 m i 50 mau makahiki. ʻAʻole ia e hua i ka hua i loko o nā makahiki 15 mua o kona ola ʻana, akā hoʻohua maikaʻi ma hope. Hiki i ka lā'au nui ke ho'ohua i ho'okahi tona pīni i ho'okahi kau.
ʻO Carob kahi ʻōpala i loaʻa i ka pulp ʻono a hiki ke ʻai ʻia a me nā hua ʻai ʻole. Ma hope o ka maloʻo ʻana, ka mālama ʻana i ka wela a me ka wili ʻana, lilo ka hua i pauda like me ka koko.
Hoʻokahi punetēpuni o ka pauka carob unsweetened he 25 calories a me 6 grams o nā kalapona a ʻaʻohe momona momona a me ka cholesterol. I ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana, hoʻokahi punetēpuni o ka pauka koko ʻole i loaʻa iā ia he 12 kaloli, 1 kalama momona, a me 3 kalama o nā kalaka, ʻaʻohe momona momona a cholesterol paha.
ʻO kekahi o nā kumu i lilo ai ka carob i meaʻai olakino maikaʻi loa ʻo ia ka nui o nā meaʻai pono e like me ke keleawe, manganese, potassium, magnesium a me selenium. He waiwai nui ia i ka calcium a me ka hao. Loaʻa pū kekahi i nā huaora A, B2, B3, B6, a me D. ʻO Carob kekahi i ʻelua a ʻekolu manawa ʻoi aku ka nui o ka calcium ma mua o ke kokoleka, a ʻaʻohe oxalic acid i loaʻa i loko o ke kokoleka e hoʻopilikia i ka absorption calcium.
ʻO ka pauka Carob kahi kumu maikaʻi loa o ka fiber meaʻai maoli, aia i loko o ʻelua grams o ka fiber no ka punetune o ka pauda. Loaʻa iā ia ka pectin, kahi e kōkua ai e hoʻopau i nā toxins.
Ke hoʻololi i ka pauda carob me ka pauda koko, e hoʻololi i hoʻokahi ʻāpana koko me 2-1/2 ʻāpana ma ke kaumaha o ka pauda carob.
