Hana mākou i ka lāʻau stachis

ʻO kahi Stachis kahi hua lāʻau hōʻala. Kahi nā pua ona me ka mint, akā he paʻa nā aʻa me nā leile he nui, e like me nā pūpū. Hele lākou i ka meaʻai. Ke hoʻolapalapa ʻia, he hoʻomanaʻo lākou i ka asparagus, cauliflower, a me ka palaoa ʻōpiopio. ʻAi ʻia ʻo Stakhis me nā palaoa i kupa a me ka palaoa, me ka ʻū a ʻū ʻia hoʻi. Hoʻohana ma ke ʻano he ʻaoʻao ʻai no ka ʻiʻo a me ka mea kanu palaoa. Nanea nā keiki i ka stachis raw me ka leʻaleʻa.

ʻAʻole ia he starch, he mea nui loa ia no ka poʻe maʻi me ka maʻi maʻi. Eia kekahi, nā kūmole stachis i kahi hopena like me ka insulin. Ua mālama ʻia nō hoʻi ʻo ia no nā maʻi o ka ʻōpū o ka honi, nā ʻano like ʻole o ka maʻi palupalu, a hoʻolōʻihi ʻia hoʻi i ke koko. He lāʻau kanu ʻo Stachis i kēlā me kēia makahiki, akā puka mai kēlā me kēia makahiki mai nā nodules e waiho ana i ka lepo, ʻo ia kahi o kēia moʻomeheu ke kūpaʻa ʻole.

Hoʻokomo ʻia nā Nodules i ka wā o ka ʻohi a i ka pūnāwai, ma hope o ka nalo ʻana o ka hau. ʻO ka hohonu o ka hoʻouluʻana i ka lepo he 8 - 11 cm, ka mamao ma waena o nā nodules he 25 - 30 cm, ma waena o nā lālani - 40 cm ʻO ka maikaʻi ka maikaʻi, hoʻomohala nā nodules i ka lua o ka makahiki o ʻOkakopa. Hiki ke kanu ʻia ʻo Stachis ma kahi pālahalaha, akā ʻaʻole ma lalo o ke kumulāʻau, no ka mea, e like me ka wea, e komo ai i ka lepo i kahi hohonu me kona mau aʻa, no laila e paʻakikī i ka hoʻopōmaikaʻi i nā ʻōpala. Ma hope o ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i kēia mea kanu i ka hoʻoilo, ua kāʻeli ʻia kahi pālahalaha i ka hohonu o 22 - 27 cm, hoʻopuʻi ʻia ka lehu, ke one, ka ʻōpala, ka pala manuahi a ua kanu ʻia kēia a pau i ka lepo. I ke kauwela, ua hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ka stachis iā 3-4 mau manawa, ʻohi ʻo ia i ka mauʻu, akā pono ka ʻai nāu, "ʻaʻole makemake ka mea make."
