Saka, ngatitarisei zvakadzama nezvemuchero unoshamisa uyu uye zviri mukati mawo.

Ichangobva kukohwewa cocoo pods;idzi dzichakurumidza kutemwa nepakati dzagadzirira kunhonga mhodzi.

KUDHARA A CACAO POD

Cacao pods inomera kubva "pamipiro yemaruva" pamatavi emuti wecocoo (Theobroma cocoo, kana kuti “zvokudya zvavamwari,” kutaura zvakarurama).Pedro Varas Valdez, mugadziri wecocoo anobva kuGuayaquil, Ecuador, anondiudza kuti kutaridzika kwemapods - ayo anozivikanwamazorcamuchiSpanish - zvichasiyana zvakanyanya zvichienderana nemhando, genetics, dunhu, nezvimwe.

Asi ese ane chimiro chakafanana kana iwe ukaavhura.

Eduardo Salazar, anogadzira cacao paFinca Joya Verde kuEl Salvador, anondiudza "Mapodhi ecocoo anoumbwa ne exocarp, mesocarp, endocarp, funicle, mhodzi uye pulp."

Anatomy ye cocoo pod.

Iyo Exocarp

Cocao exocarp ndiro gobvu gobvu repod.Seyekunze kwekunze, ine nzvimbo ine gnarled inoshumira kuchengetedza muchero wose.

Kusiyana nekofi, iyo inowanzoita yegirini kana isina kuibva uye yakatsvuka - kana dzimwe nguva orenji, yero, kana pink, zvichienderana nemhando - kana yaibva, cacao exocarp inouya muraraungu yemavara.Sokundiudza kunoita Alfredo Mena, mugadziri wekofi necocoo paFinca Villa España, El Salvador, kuti: “Unogona kuwana girinhi, tsvuku, yero, yepepuru, yepingi nematani azvo ose zvichitevedzana.”

Rudzi rweexocarp runobva pane zvinhu zviviri: ruvara rwepod rwechisikigo uye kuibva kwayo.Pedro anondiudza kuti zvinotora mwedzi mina kusvika kumishanu kuti podhi ikure nekuibva.“Ruvara rwayo runotiudza kuti yakagadzirira,” anotsanangura kudaro.“Kuno, muEcuador, ruvara rwepod runosiyanawo nemhando dzakawanda, asi kune mavara maviri anokosha, egirinhi uye matsvuku.Ruvara rwegirinhi (yero kana rwakura) rwakanangana neNacional cacao, nepo tsvuku kana yepepuru (orenji kana yakura) mavara aripo muCriollo neTrinitario (CCN51).

Kakao pod yakasvibira, isina kuibva inokura pamuti paFinca Joya Verde, El Salvador.

Nacional cacao, Criollo, Trinitario CCN51: zvese izvi zvinoreva mhando dzakasiyana.Uye kune zvakawanda zveizvi.

Semuyenzaniso, Eduardo anondiudza kuti, “Maitiro echikoko cheSalvador Criollo cocoo akareba, anonongedza, ane makora uye anecundeamor[mavise anovava] kanaangoletta[mamwe akatenderedzwa] mafomu.Inoshanduka kubva pamavara egirinhi kusvika kune yakatsvuka zvakanyanya kana mazinga ekukura ari akanakisa, aine mhodzi chena uye chena pulp.

“Mumwe muenzaniso, Ocumare, iCriollo yemazuva ano yakafanana nemhando ye'Trinitario' ine hutsanana hwe89%.Iine podhi yakareba yakafanana neSalvadoran Criollo, ine shanduko yeruvara kubva kumaribheri kuenda kuorenji kana mazinga ekukura ari nani.Zvisinei, cacao bhinzi dzine ruvara rwepepuru nechena core ... Zvose zvinoenderana nekushanduka kwecocoo, zvinoenderana nenharaunda, mamiriro ekunze, mamiriro evhu, nezvimwewo.

Nechikonzero ichi, zvakakosha kuti murimi azive chirimwa chake.Pasina ruzivo urwu, havazokwanisa kuziva kana mapods aibva - chimwe chinhu chakakosha pamhando yechokoreti.

Cacao pods inosvika padanho rakakwana rekuibva paFinca Joya Verde, El Salvador.

Iyo Mesocarp

Iyi gobvu, yakaoma layer inogara pasi peexocarp.Kazhinji inenge ine huni zvishoma.

Iyo Endocarp

Iyo endocarp inotevera mesocarp uye ndiyo yekupedzisira layer ye "shell" yakatenderedza cacao beans uye pulp.Sezvo isu tinowedzera mukati mecocoo pod, inova yakanyorova uye yakapfava.Nekudaro, ichiri kuwedzera chimiro uye kuomarara kune pod.

Kunyange zvazvo ichikosha pautano hwechirimwa ichi, Eduardo anondiudza kuti “mitsetse yecocoo pod (exocarp, mesocarp, uye endocarp) haikanganisi kunakirwa chero munzira ipi zvayo.”

Iyo coco Pulp

Maeed acho akafukidzwa nemuchena, anonamira pulp kana mucilage anongobviswa panguva yekuvirisa.Kungofanana nekofi, pulp ine nhamba yakawanda yeshuga.Kusiyana nekofi, zvisinei, inogonawo kupedzwa pachayo.

Pedro anondiudza kuti, “Vamwe vanhu vanogadzira muto, doro, zvinwiwa, aizikirimu, uye jamu [naro].Iine yakasarudzika, yakavava uye vamwe vanhu vanoti ine aphrodisiac properties. "

Nicholas Yamada, nyanzvi yechokoreti yokuSão Paulo, anowedzera kuti yakafanana nejackfruit asi ine simba shoma."Asidhi yakareruka, inotapira, 'Tutti Frutti gum'-yakafanana," anotsanangura kudaro.

Cacao pod yakachekwa nepakati, ichisiya mhodzi dzakafukidzwa dzepulp dzichionekwa.

Iyo Rachis/Funicle & Placenta

Haisi mhodzi chete dzinenge dziri mukati memhata.Iwe zvakare uchawana iyo funicle yakabatana pakati pavo.Iri idzinde rakatetepa, rakaita seshinda rinonamira mhodzi pabeche.Iyo funicle uye placenta, senge pulp, inoputsika panguva yekuvirisa.

Cocao pod yakakamurwa nepakati panguva yekugadziriswa, ichiburitsa pulp, bhinzi, uye funicle.

MbeuyeCacao Pod

Uye pakupedzisira, tinosvika chikamu chinonyanya kukosha - kwatiri!– yecocoo pod: mhodzi.Izvi ndizvo zvinozopedzisira zvashandurwa kuita chocolate mabara uye zvinwiwa.

Alfredo anotsanangura, kuti: “Nechomukati, unowana cacao bhinzi, idzo dzakafukidzwa nesadza, dzakarongwa mumitsara inotenderedza rukuvhute kana kuti rachis nenzira yakadaro zvokuti inoratidzika semuguri wechibage.”

Eh Chocolatier inotaura kuti mhodzi dzakaumbwa semaamondi akati sandara, uye kazhinji uchawana 30 kusvika ku50 yawo mupodhi.

Ripe Trinitario cocoo pods;mhodzi dzakafukidzwa nechena pulp.

TINGASHANDISA YESE CACAO POD?

Saka, kana mhodzi dzecocoo iri iyo yega chikamu chemuchero unopera muchokoreti yedu, zvinoreva here kuti imwe yese inoparara?

Kwete hazvo.

Takatotaura kuti pulp inogona kudyiwa yega.Uyezve, Eduardo anondiudza kuti, “Munyika dzeLatin America, cocoo [inogadzirwa] inogona kushandiswa kudyisa zvipfuwo.”

Alfredo anowedzera kuti “mashandisirwo ecocoo pods akasiyana.Muchinoitika checocoo muThailand, vakapa kudya kwemanheru nezvokudya zvinopfuura 70 zvakasiyana-siyana zve[cacao] zvakasiyana-siyana kubva muto, mupunga, nyama, madhiri, zvinwiwa nezvimwe.”

Uye Pedro anotsanangura kuti, kunyangwe kana zvigadzirwa zvikasadyiwa, zvinogona kushandiswa zvakare.“Goko repod, kana rangokohwewa zvakanaka, rinosiiwa mumunda nekuti nhunzi inonzi Forcipomyia (chipembenene chinobatsira mukumesa kweruva recocoa) inokandira mazai ayo imomo.Zvadaro [goko racho] rinoiswazve muvhu kana raparadzwa,” anodaro.“Vamwe varimi vanogadzira manyowa nemateko nekuti ane potassium yakawanda uye anobatsira mukusimudzira maorganic matter muvhu.

Cacao pods inokura pamuti wekoko paFinca Joya Verde, El Salvador.

Kana tikasunungura bhaa yechokoreti yakanaka kuti tione inotonhorera, yakasviba dhizeti mukati, chiitiko chakasiyana kwazvo kune mugadziri achitsemura cacao pod.Asi zviri pachena kuti chikafu ichi chinoshamisa padanho rega rega: kubva pamapodhi ane mavara anokura pakati pemaruva akapfava ecocoo kusvika kune yekupedzisira chigadzirwa chatinodya nekutenda kukuru.
