Mphanga ndi mizu yayitali yaitali ya tuberous pafupifupi masentimita awiri kuzungulira ndi mainchesi asanu ndi atatu. Mzuwu uli ndi khungu lofiirira lofewa ndi chipale chofewa mkati mwa thupi. Chifukwa zimapweteka mosavuta, nthawi zambiri zimagulitsidwa zophimbidwa ndi sera. Mayina ena a nsawawa ndi yuca, manioc, mandioca, root root, casabe, ndi tapioca.
Mphukira imachokera ku Brazil ndi madera otentha a ku America. Amakula kwambiri ku Latin America ndi ku Caribbean.
Anali komanso akadali wofunikira masamba masamba mu zakudya za ku Caribbean. Zakhala zikuzungulira, kuyambira pomwe Columbus asanabwere, monga chakudya chodalirika cha chiwerengero cha Taino, Carib, ndi Arawak, makamaka ngati chakudya cha chimanga. Chifukwa chinali chofunikira kwambiri pachikhalidwe, amwenyewo ankalemekeza. Nkhani ya mbiri yakale ya ku Spain ya 1554 ikufotokoza mwambo umene wansembe wachibadwidwe anadalitsa mkate wa cassava ndikuwugawa pakati pa anthu amitundu. Owalandirawo ndiye anasunga mkate kuti ateteze mabanja awo ku ngozi chaka chonse chotsatira. Mphesa imadyedwa kuzilumba zonse masiku ano ndipo mudzaipeza pamwamba pa misika.
Kukonzekera
Mphanga ndi zodabwitsa kwambiri; Zikhoza kuphikidwa, kuphika, kuziziritsidwa, kuzikidwa, zokazinga , kusungidwa, kapena kuwonjezeredwa ku stews. Kawirikawiri, amatumizidwa ndi nyama yakuda mchere, tsabola, ndi madzi a mandimu. Maphikidwe ambiri amaitanira kuti ikhale yoyera. Pamene yophika, imatembenuka chikasu, imatuluka pang'ono, imatulutsa pang'ono, ndipo imawoneka bwino.
Muzuwo ukhoza kupangidwa kukhala chakudya cha pansi kapena ufa mwa kutsuka, kupukuta , ndi kuwupukuta ndiyeno kuchotsa madzi ndi kuyanika chakudya. Chakudyacho chikhoza kugulidwa kale kukonzedwa ndi mazira. Pachilumbachi chomwe chimakhudzidwa ndi French, chakudya champhesa chimadziwika ngati farine , mtundu wochepa wa manioc.
Mphesa ikhoza kupangidwanso muzinthu zina zingapo. Tapioca ndi wowuma wotchedwa manisava omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito puddings komanso ngati wothandizira. Zokonzekera zina zikuphatikizapo mtanda wa empanadas ndi tamales, chips, ndi fritters. Chotupitsa , chofunika kwambiri pa pepperpot, ndi mchere wa madzi ophikira ophikira pamodzi ndi zonunkhira zina. Anthu a ku Dominican Republic amapanga chiwongoladzanja chotchedwa yuca chomwe chimatchedwa cativías. Ku Jamaica, bam bam ndigwiritsiridwa ntchito pamodzi popanga chakudya chochokera ku cassava monga mkate, zikondamoyo, ndi muffin. Bammy, kapena bammie, ndi mkate wandiweyani wopangidwa ndi ufa wa suphala. Nthawi zambiri amadya nsomba yokazinga kapena saltfish ndi ackee.
Pamene kugula mizu ya maluwa imayang'ana mizu yolimba, popanda malo ofewa. Komanso, ngati n'kotheka, yambani mizu yonse yomwe sichimachotsedwa.
Msuzi Mkate
Yuca yowawa kwambiri imagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga casabe, yomwe ndi chiwombankhanga chachilendo, chotupitsa, chofufumitsa chomwe chimatchuka ku Republic of Dominican Republic. Ku United States, casabe imagulitsidwa m'misika yamtengo wapatali chifukwa zimakhala zowawa kwambiri ndipo zimatenga nthawi ndi luso-mkate weniweni wa Caribbean; Zili ngati zokoma ngati wopenga. Mkate umagulitsidwa m'thumba la pulasitiki kapena wokutidwa mu pepala ndipo womangidwa ndi chingwe. M'zilumba za Chifalansa, mkate umatchedwa kupweteka kwa kassav ndi zilumba za Chisipanishi, amatchedwa pan de casabe.
Anthu amtunduwu adayamba njira yochotsera poizoni wa Prussic acid kuchokera ku chimanga chowawa kuti apange mkate. Zimaphatikizapo kupukuta, kutsuka, kugaya, ndi kugwiritsa ntchito matapie (thumba lopachikidwa). Kukanikiza kumachotsa madzi owopsa. Mukapatukana ndi madzi, zamkati zimadzulidwa dzuwa ndipo zimapangidwa mkate kapena kuzungulira masamba a nthochi kuti zisungidwe. Ntchitoyi inali yovuta komanso midzi yonse idzagwira nawo ntchitoyi. Madzi owopsa ankagwiritsidwa ntchito kuti azithira mikondo yawo ndi mivi yawo.
Mitundu
Pali mitundu iwiri ya chimanga-zokoma ndi zowawa. Zonsezi zili ndi Prussic acid (hydrocyanic acid), zomwe zingayambitse poizoni wa cyanide. Kuphika kapena kukanikiza muzuwo kumachotsa poizoni. Mphanga sangathe kudyedwa yaiwisi. Nkhawa, kapena msipu, imakhala ndi asidi okwanira kuti ikhale yowopsa ngati idya yaiwisi kapena yosaphika.
Kuti apulumutse Ogonjetsa, amwenye oponderezedwa ankadzipha kuti adye ufa wosalala.
Musaope. Simungagwirizane ndi zowawa m'masitolo a ku US. Chomera chotchedwa sweetsava chimagulitsidwa kumsika wa ku America mwatsopano kapena mazira. Mankhwalawa amachititsa kukhala chakudya chokwanira komanso chodyera, chomwe chimapangidwanso kukhala mikate , chakudya, ndi mikate.
