ʻAʻole nā mea kanu a holoholona paha nā halo, he aupuni kaʻawale lākou. ʻO kēlā mau halo a mākou e hōʻiliʻili ai a ʻai ai, he wahi liʻiliʻi wale nō ia o kahi mea ola nui. ʻO ka mycelium ke kumu. He kino ola kēia, me he mea lā i ulana ʻia mai nā milo lahilahi. Huna mau ʻia ka mycelium i loko o ka lepo a i ʻole nā mea waiwai ʻē aʻe, a hiki ke hoʻolaha i nā haneli mau mika. ʻAʻole hiki ke ʻike ʻia a hiki i ka ulu ʻana o ke kino o ka haʻuki ma luna ona, inā he chanterelle, he toadstool a he "pūnana manu".
I ka makahiki 1960 ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā haloʻo pua (lat. – fungi). Aia i loko o kēia ʻohana ka hū, myxomycetes, a me kekahi mau mea ola e pili ana.
Ua manaʻo ʻia he 1,5 a i ka 2 miliona mau ʻano o nā haʻiki e ulu ana ma ka Honua, a he 80 wale nō o lākou i ʻike pono ʻia. ʻO ka manaʻo, no 1 ʻano mea kanu ʻōmaʻomaʻo, aia 6 mau ʻano o nā halo.
I kekahi mau ʻano, kokoke loa nā halo i holoholonamamua o na mea kanu. E like me mākou, hanu lākou i ka oxygen a hanu i ka carbon dioxide. Ua like ka protein mushroom me ka protein holoholona.
Ulu nā halo mai hihiaaole anoano. Hoʻokahi halo oʻo e hoʻopuka i ka nui o 16 biliona spores!
ʻO nā hieroglyphs i loaʻa i nā hale kupapaʻu o nā pharaohs e hōʻike ana ua manaʻo ko ʻAigupita i nā halo. "mea kanu o ka make ole". I kēlā manawa, hiki i nā lālā o nā ʻohana aliʻi ke ʻai i nā halo; ʻAʻole ʻai nā makaʻāinana i kēia mau huaʻai.
Ma ka ʻōlelo a kekahi mau ʻohana ʻAmelika Hema, ua hōʻike ʻia nā halo a me ka ʻiʻo e ka huaʻōlelo hoʻokahi, e noʻonoʻo ana he ʻano meaʻai.
Ua kapa ʻia ka poʻe Roma kahiko i nā haloo “ʻai a ke akua”.
I ka lāʻau lapaʻau Kina, ua hoʻohana ʻia nā halo no nā kaukani makahiki e mālama i nā ʻano maʻi like ʻole. Ke hoʻomaka nei ka ʻepekema o Western e hoʻohana i nā pūhui lāʻau lapaʻau i loaʻa i loko o nā halo. ʻO ka penicillin a me streptomycin nā laʻana o ka ikaika antibioticsloaʻa mai nā halo. Loaʻa nā pūhui antibacterial a me antiviral ʻē aʻe ma kēia aupuni.
Manaʻo ʻia ʻo nā halo he ikaika nā mea palekana. Kōkua lākou i ka hakakā ʻana i ka hānō, nā maʻi ʻaleʻa, ka ʻāʻī a me nā maʻi ʻē aʻe. Ke noiʻi ikaika ʻia nei kēia waiwai o nā halo e nā kauka o ke Komohana, ʻoiai hiki ke hoʻolaha nui ʻia nā mea ho'ōla o nā haʻi.
E like me nā kānaka, hoʻopuka nā halo i ka huaʻa D ke ʻike ʻia i ka lā a me ka radiation ultraviolet. Hoʻohana ʻia ka mea hope i ka mahi ʻai ʻana i nā halo. No ka laʻana, ʻo ka lawelawe ʻana i ka mitaki he 85% o ka ʻai ʻana i kēlā me kēia lā o ka vitamina D. I kēia lā, nui ka nānā ʻana i ka hemahema o kēia vitamina, e pili ana i nā maʻi he nui, me ka maʻi kanesa.
ʻO nā halo:
Ke kumu o ka niacin
ʻO ke kumu o ka selenium, fiber, potassium, vitamina B1 a me B2
ʻAʻole loaʻa ka cholesterol
He haʻahaʻa ka calorie, ka momona a me ka sodium
Antioxidants
A he makana maoli nō hoʻi ia o ke ʻano, meaʻai, ʻono, maikaʻi i kēlā me kēia ʻano a aloha ʻia e nā meaʻai he nui.
