Enye yezinto zokuqala umhambi oya eHawaii izaziso lapho efika esikhumulweni sezindiza noma ukuvakashelwa kokuqala kunoma yisiphi isitolo esilula ukubonisa okukhulu kwemikhiqizo ye-macadamia, njengamaphakethi wesipho samantongomane abomile, amantongomane aqoshiwe kanye ne-macadamia nut brittle. Ukukhethwa cishe kungapheli futhi amanani ayimangalisa, engaphansi kwesigamu salokho ongakhokhela ezweni eliseningizimu yezinto ezifanayo.
I-Macadamia Nut Capital of the World
Kwenzeka kanjani lokhu?
Impendulo ilula. I-Hawaii isengomunye wabakhiqizi abakhulu emhlabeni wonke wamantongomane ase-macadamia futhi eyaziwa ngokuthi i-macadamia nut capital emhlabeni, ekhula ngamaphesenti angama-90 emantongomane e-macadamia emhlabeni.
Yini eyenza lokhu kumangalisa nakakhulu ukuthi umuthi womu-macadamia awuveli kuHawaii. Eqinisweni, kwakungakaze kube ngo-1882 ukuthi lo muthi waqala ukutshala eHawaii eduze naseKapulena esiqhingini esikhulu saseHawaii.
Umfuduki wase-Australia
Umuthi we-macadamia nut uvela e-Australia. I-macadamia yahlukaniswa futhi yaqanjwa ngokubambisana noBaron Sir Ferdinand Jakob Heinrich von Mueller, uMqondisi weBotanical Gardens eMelbourne naseWalter Hill, ongumphathi wokuqala weBotanic Gardens eBrisbane.
Umuthi ubizwa ngokuthi udumo lomngane kaMueller, uDkt. John Macadam, umfundisi owaziwayo osebenza ngokuzikhandla kanye nezobuchwepheshe eYunivesithi yaseMelbourne, kanye nelungu lePhalamende.
UWilliam H. Purvis, imenenja yokutshala ushukela e-Big Island, wavakashela e-Australia futhi wahlatshwa umxhwele ubuhle bomuthi. Wabuyisa imbewu eHawaii lapho ayitshala khona eKapulena. Eminyakeni engu-40 eyalandela, lezi zihlahla zavuswa ngokuyinhloko njengezihlahla zokuhlobisa hhayi izithelo zazo.
Ukukhiqizwa kokuqala kwezebhizinisi eHawaii
Ngo-1921 indoda yaseMassachusetts egama layo lingu-Ernest Shelton Van Tassell yasungula indawo yokuqala yase-macadamia eduze kwaseHotolulu.
Kodwa-ke, lo mzamo wokuqala wahlangana nokuhluleka, ngoba izithombo ezivela emthini ofanayo zivame ukhiqiza amantongomane wezithelo ezihlukene kanye nekhwalithi. IYunivesithi yaseHawaii yangena esithombeni futhi yaqala eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-20 yocwaningo ukuze kuthuthukiswe isivuno somuthi.
Ukukhiqiza Okukhulu-Ukuqala Kuqala
Kwakungakaze kube yi-1950s, lapho izinkampani ezinkulu zingene esithombeni, ukuthi ukukhiqizwa kwamantongomane ama-macadamia okudayiswa kwezebhizinisi kwaba nkulu. Umtshali-zimali wokuqala owayengumtshali omkhulu u-Castle & Cooke, abanikazi be-Dole Pineapple Co. Ngokushesha ngemuva kwalokho, i-C. Brewer ne-Company Ltd. yaqala ukutshalwa kwezimali kumantongomane ase-macadamia.
Ekugcineni, uC. C. Brewer wathenga imisebenzi yaseChris & Cooke's macadamia futhi waqala ukuthengisa amantongomane ngaphansi komkhiqizo weMauna Loa ngo-1976. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, amaNandi aseMauna Loa ama-macadamia aqhubeke ekhula. UMauna Loa usalokhu engumkhiqizi omkhulu wama nati ka-macadamia emhlabeni futhi igama labo lifana nemikhiqizo ye-macadamia.
Imisebenzi encane ifaka
Nokho, kunezimboni ezincane ezikhiqiza amantongomane. Enye yezinto eziwaziwa kakhulu yipulazi elincane esiqhingini saseMlokai esineTuddie noKammy Purdy. Yindawo enhle kakhulu yokuma ukuze uthole isifundo somuntu siqu mayelana nokulima umcibisholo waseMacadamia, futhi ukunambitha nokuthenga amantongomane amasha noma aqoshiwe kanye neminye imikhiqizo ye-macadamia.
