Ua hoʻohana nuiʻia nā lālāʻelua a me nā hua baʻa uliuli maikaʻi loa i ka kukeʻo ka Caribbean. Ma muli o kahi o nā mokupuni āu e kipa ai, lohe pahaʻoe i nā hua'ōlelo "banana'ōmaʻoma" a me ka "Caribbean fig" i hana likeʻole. Ua kapaʻia lākou he inoaʻo Guineos ma nā moku Pelekānia.
ʻO ka'ōmaʻa uliuli ka maiʻa hoʻokahi eʻai aiʻoe i ka huaʻaina no ka'ōpō kakahiaka a iʻole kahi'ākena, akā ua hoʻomākaukau pinepineʻia lākou e like me ka mea kanu i ka Caribbean, kahi nui i nā meaʻai.
ʻO ka'oina kapuʻo Vs. ʻO ka mea i kohoʻia
Ke hele neiʻo ia e kū'ē i kaʻai no ka hapa nui o kākou eʻai i nā huaʻainaʻole, akā, he laʻana wale nō ia i kahi noho mau, ma nā mokupuniʻo Karipika. I kekahi manawa, uaʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka maiʻa'ōmaʻomaʻo ma mua o ka maiʻa'ōmaʻomaʻa. No ka hoʻomakaʻana o nā huakai maiʻa e hoʻolei i lalo i ke kōpaʻa. A laila,ʻo ka maiʻa ungipe, e hoʻonui i ka loli o ke koko, i mea maikaʻi no ka mea me nā koko koko. A me kaʻaiʻana i hoʻokahi me kēlā me ke kūpaʻa paʻa - me ke kū'ē i ke kōpaʻa - keʻoluʻoluʻoe no ka lōʻihi. ʻO ka maiʻa a pau he mau puna maikaʻi o ka pālolo pālolo a me ka fiber.
ʻO ka lalo hoʻi, ināʻaʻoleʻo ia me ke kō,ʻaʻole iʻono maikaʻi ka maiʻa'ōmaʻomaʻo.
ʻO ka'āpana kala ma ka Caribbean Life
He kūponoʻole ia no ka pono e lilo i mea maʻalahi ka hoʻomakaʻana o ka poʻe Caribbean e hoʻomakaʻai me ka maiʻa uliuli. ʻAʻole nā'ōpena i ka Caribbean, akā ulu nui lākou ma laila, no laila ua lilo maoli lākou i mea nui o kaʻai Kalipiano.
Hiki ke hoʻohanaʻia hoʻi nā hua'ōmaʻomaʻo ma kahi o nā mea kanu i ka wā eʻole ai nā mea kanu. Ua hoʻohanaʻia nā lau o ka maiʻa e hoʻokomo i kekahi mau meaʻai e like me nā pāpale Puerto Rican a me Barbadian Conkies.
He aha e hana ai me kahi hua waina?
Hoʻohanaʻia nā hua o ka'ōmaʻomaʻo e hana i nā salama, e like me kāu e hana ai i kahi salala pālaʻi.
Hiki iāʻoe ke hana i nā pies me lākou, e like me kahi paʻi kahu. Aia kahi'ōhiʻa'iela maikaʻi i kaulana i nā mokupuni. ʻO ka maiʻa a pau, inā paha he hou, a maloʻo paha, hiki ke maʻalahiʻia i loko o ka puaʻa no ko lākou māʻona mana kiʻekiʻe. Ke'ō'ālua a lahilahi paha i hoʻopiliʻia i ka palaoa, hiki iāʻoe ke hoʻohana i ka maiʻa'ōmaʻomaʻa i ka'āpana kelepona a iʻole nā'ōniʻoniʻo , aiʻole e hoʻolapalapa ia mau mea a leʻaleʻa paha i ka meaʻai paʻakai. Hāpai lākou i kekahi mau meaʻai maikaʻi.
Malia paha o ka ala maʻalahi loa e ho'āʻo ai i kāuʻaiʻana no ka maiʻa uliuli e hoʻolapalapa ia mau mea, kahi hana maʻamau no ka hoʻomākaukauʻana iā lākou. E hoʻokuʻu i ka maiʻa, nāʻili i paʻa, i loko o ka wai kai paʻakai i uhiʻia. E'ōpala iā lākou no 20 mau minuke a hiki i ka hiki iāʻoe ke maʻa pono i kaʻili me kahi lāʻau. Aʻo ia. E koli i ka pehi e hāmama a lawelawe i ka maiʻa e like me kā lākou hana i Jamaica, me kahi iʻa iʻa a me ka puaʻa nui.
E hoʻohana i ka'ōmaʻomaʻo'ōmaʻomaʻo i loaʻa,ʻo ia hoʻi ka manaʻo e hopu iā lākou i ka wā i hoʻokomoʻia ai lākou i loko o ka pahu huaʻai ma nā māleka US. No ka mea e pono ai, e hoʻounaʻia ka maiʻa i loko o ko lākou'ōmaʻomaʻo, unripe'āina no ka mea e hoʻomau lākou i ke oʻo a me ka maʻalahi i ka laweʻiaʻana i nā papahana. Inā hiki i nā mea kanu ke hoʻokuʻu i ka baʻa huahua'ōmaʻomaʻo, pono lākou e'ānaiʻia i ka manawa i hiki ai lākou i ko lākou mau huakaʻi.
