1. No ʻAmelika Hema ka ʻuala. He nui ka poʻe i kuhi hewa iā ʻIlelani ʻo ko lākou ʻāina hānau. Hoʻoulu ʻia mai kahi mea kanu hihiu ma kahi ʻāpana e uhi ana i ke komohana ʻākau o Bolivia a me ka hema o Peru. Ua lawe ʻia lākou i ʻEulopa e nā naʻi aupuni Sepania i ka hopena o ke kenekulia 16.
2. Ua hoʻomaka ka ʻuala i kā lākou ʻoihana ʻEulopa me ka hoʻomaka hoʻopunipuni - ua make koke ka poʻe i ʻai iā lākou. ʻO ke kumu, ʻaʻole i manaʻo nā luina aliʻi nāna i lawe mai i ka ʻuala mai ʻAmelika Hema e wehewehe i nā kamaʻāina ʻaʻole ʻo ka lau a me nā kumu i ʻai ʻia - akā ʻo nā aʻa a me nā ʻuala. ʻO nā lau a me nā ʻōpala, he ʻawaʻawa maoli nō.
3. Ua kanu nā kānaka i ka ʻuala no 7,000 mau makahiki. I kekahi manawa, hoomana ka poe Inikini ia lakou me he mau akua la, a manao lakou he mau mea ola.
4. Aia ma kahi o 4,000 mau ʻano ʻuala. Kūpono nā ʻuala like ʻole no nā kīʻaha like ʻole. ʻO ke kumu, he ʻokoʻa ka ʻokoʻa o nā ʻano like ʻole. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻuala me ka saturation kiʻekiʻe o ka starch no ka kuke ʻana a i ʻole ka palai. ʻO ka poʻe me nā haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa o ka starch ʻaʻole lākou e paila - ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o lākou no ka saladi, ka sopa a me ka stews.
5. No ka ʻohana like ka ʻuala me ka paka. ʻIke ʻia he ʻano nui ka ʻohana ʻuala (Solanaceae) a loaʻa nā mea kanu he nui - nā ʻōmato, eggplants, pepa, tatula, petunia, paka.
6. ʻAʻole pono e ʻai ʻia ka ʻuala ʻōmaʻomaʻo. Ke ʻōmaʻomaʻo ka ʻuala, ʻo ia hoʻi, ua ʻike nui ʻia i ka lā i ka wā e mālama ai a ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka solanine ʻawaʻawa maʻemaʻe - ʻo ia ke kumu o ke poʻo, nausea a me ka malaise. Ua lawa ka ʻoki ʻana i nā wahi ʻōmaʻomaʻo, a hiki ke maʻalahi ke koena.
7. Ma lalo o nā kūlana kūpono, hiki ke mālama ʻia ka ʻuala a hiki i hoʻokahi makahiki. Eia naʻe, mai manaʻo e lōʻihi lākou i ka home. No kēlā mālama lōʻihi o ka ʻuala, pono nā lako i kūkulu maikaʻi ʻia a me kahi hale kūʻai kūʻai kūikawā.
8. Ua hoʻohana ka poʻe Inca i ka ʻuala ma nā ʻano like ʻole. I kēia lā, ʻai wale mākou i ka ʻuala. Akā ʻoi aku ka pili o nā Incas me lākou a hoʻohana iā lākou e mālama i nā maʻi like ʻole. ʻO ka lāʻau maʻamau no ka ʻeha niho ʻo ia ka lawe ʻana i ka ʻuala me ʻoe (akā, ʻaʻole ʻike maopopo ʻia ka mea e hana ʻia me ia). Inā ʻeha ke kanaka i ka ʻiʻo a i ʻole ka iwi, a laila hoʻohana ʻia ka hupa i koe o ka ʻuala i hoʻolapalapa ʻia no ka mālama ʻana.
9. ʻAʻole pili ka ʻuala maʻamau i ka ʻuala i kapa ʻia ʻo 'uala'. ʻO ka pilina wale nō ma waena o lākou he mau mea kanu starchy e ulu ana ma lalo o ka lepo. Akā, ʻoiai he ʻuala ka ʻuala, ʻo ka ʻuala he aʻa nui wale nō o ka mea kanu. ʻAʻole lākou no ka ʻohana hoʻokahi: no ka ʻohana ʻuala ka ʻuala, a no ka ʻohana ʻē ka ʻuala.
10. ʻO ka ʻuala ka mea kanu mua ma ke ākea. I ka makahiki 1995, ua hoʻouna ʻia ka hapalua o ka ʻuala i Kolombia, a waiho ʻia ka hapa ʻē aʻe ma ka Honua. Ua holomua ka hoʻokolohua: ʻaʻohe ʻokoʻa i ʻike ʻia ma waena o nā pūʻulu ʻuala ʻelua.
