Ithanga Elikheniwe Akulona Empeleni Ithanga
-Delile
Isikhathi esipholile sisho izinto ezimbili: ekugcineni yisikhathi salezo zigijimayo obukade ubheke phambili kuzo, futhi ukuwa kwenkathi yezinongo ithanga ngokusemthethweni lapha. Kepha ngaphambi kokuba uqale ukusebenza ngesifiso esenziwe ngabantwana besidlo sokuqala sokushaya yonke into ngethanga, kunokuthile okufanele ukwazi: Lawo makani wethanga kungenzeka angabi ithanga empeleni.
Ngokombiko ka-Epicurious, iningi "lethanga" elisethini emakethe empeleni liyizithelo ezihluke ngokuphelele. U-Epicurious uthi amaphesenti angama-85 ethanga elisemathinini emhlabeni athengiswa ngohlobo lokudla okusemathinini okungasho lutho okunguLibby's, futhi bakhulisa owabo umzala wethanga onesikhumba esimnyama, uDickinson squash, ukusiza ukuhlangabezana nesidingo. Umkhabi: Lesi squash sifana kakhulu nesikwashi se-butternut kunamathanga e-orenji akhanyayo ozobe uqopha lokhu kuwa.
Ngokusobala, lo mkhuba wokuxuba izinhlobo zezithelo uvame kakhulu futhi usemthethweni ngokuphelele. Ngokweziqondiso ezisemthethweni zeFood And Drug Administration (i-FDA), ithanga elisemathinini lingagcwala ithanga lenkambu eliqondile, "izinhlobo ezithile zeshelled eqinile, egolide-fleshed, isikwashi esimnandi" noma ingxube yalokhu okubili, ichaza ukuthi kungani ungathola ukunambitheka okuhlukile noma ukuthungwa uma uthenga imikhiqizo ehlukile. Ngenxa yokuthi amathanga kanye "ne-golden-fleshed sweet squash" bangabazala abasondelene kakhulu, i-FDA yabusa emuva ngo-1938 ukuthi izinkampani zokudla zingabiza ingxube yokugcina ngokuthi "ithanga" kungakhathaliseki ukuthi singakanani isithelo sangempela ekuhlanganiseni. Futhi njengoba abantu abaningi becabanga ukuthi umehluko yi-NBD, inqubomgomo isasebenza.
Nakuba ama-taste buds akho engakwazi ukusho umehluko, kunomehluko enanini lokudla okunempilo kwezithelo ezimbili zokuwa. Ithanga empeleni linempilo encane kunesikwashi: I-squash engu-3.5-ounce inama-khalori angama-45 nama-gramu ayi-12 ama-carbohydrate, kanti ithanga elihlanzekile linama-khalori angama-26 kuphela no-6 amagremu ama-carbs. Ngakho-ke uma ukhathazekile ngenani lekhalori, ungase ube ngcono ekuqopheni ithanga lakho futhi uzihlanze. (Qinisekisa ukuthi uzama lezi zindlela zokupheka eziyi-10 ngenkathi ukuzo.) Kungenjalo, cabanga ngalokhu ukwamukela kwakho okusemthethweni, iphutha, isizini yezinongo ze-squash.
