He hōʻailona o ke ola ma nā awāwa oʻAmelika,ʻo ka pīpī baobab heʻanoʻo Adansonia , he lālā o nā lāʻau i piha iʻeiwa mauʻano likeʻole. ʻElua wale nōʻano, Adansonia digitata a me Andansionia kilima , he poʻe maoli lākou i ka'āina oʻAmelika, aia naʻeʻeono mauʻohana i Madagascar a hoʻokahi i'Austania. ʻOiai heʻano liʻiliʻi keʻano o ka baobab,ʻo ka lāʻau pono'ī.
ʻO kēia ka piluna o ke kumulāʻau o'Arapai, heʻano nui nui o ka kikokiko e kū ana ma luna o ka lau'ocacia e walaʻau ana i nā lālā Medusa me nā lālāʻoi aʻe ma luna aʻe o kahi kino nui.
ʻAʻole paha i lōʻihi kona kiʻekiʻe e like me ka lāʻauʻulaʻula, akāʻo kona nui nui ka mea i ikaika loa i ke kumu lāʻau nui o ka honua. E hiki i ka adansonia digitata ke piʻi i 82 kapuaʻi / 25 mika ke kiʻekiʻe, a me 46 kapuaʻi / 14 mika ke anawaena.
Hoʻohuiʻia nā lāpena e like me nā kumu i lalo, mahalo i keʻano likeʻole o nā lālā i hoʻopiliʻia. Loaʻa iā lākou ma waena o ka'enelaʻApelika,ʻoiaiʻo ko lākou palena ke kaupalenaʻia e ko lākou makemake no ka piʻiʻana o nāʻano wela. Ua hōʻea mai lākou ma waho'ē aʻe, a ua hiki ke loaʻa i nā'āina e like me India, Kina a'Oman. Uaʻikeʻia nā Baobabs ma mua o ka 1,500 mau makahiki.
ʻO Sunland Baobab
ʻO ka Adansonia digitata baobab nui loa iʻikeʻiaʻo Sunland Baobab, kahi i Modjadjiskloof, ka mokuʻo Limpopo . Ke hoʻokiʻekiʻe nei kēia mea hoʻokiʻekiʻe i kahi kiʻekiʻe o 62 kapuaʻi / 19 mika, a me ke anawaena he 34.9 kapuaʻi / 10.6 mau mika. Ma kahi o kona kaha nui loa,ʻo ka pahu o Sunland Baobab he'onike he 109.5 kapuaʻi / 33.4 mika.
Ua nui ka manawa o ka lāʻau e hiki ai i ka laulā puʻupuʻu, me ka kalapona kala e hāʻawi ana iā ia i kahi kokoke kokoke i 1,700 mau makahiki. Ma hope o ka hikiʻana i hoʻokahi mau makahiki, hoʻomaka nā baobabs e komo i loko, a ua hana nā mea nona ka Sunland Baobab i ka hapa nui o kēiaʻano kūlohelohe ma o ka hanaʻana i kahi hale a me ka hale inu waina ma loko.
ʻO ka lāʻau o ke ola
He mau waiwai maikaʻi nā baobab, e wehewehe ana i ke kumu i kapaʻia aiʻo iaʻo "Tree of Life." Hanaʻiaʻo ia e like me kahi mea nui nui a hiki i 80% o ke kumu he wai. Ua hoʻohanaʻo San bushman ma luna o nā kumulāʻau he kumu waiwai nui i ka wā i maloʻo ai ka ua a ua maloʻo nā muliwai. Hiki i kahi lāʻau ke paʻa i ka 4,500 lita (1,189 nā galani), kahi hiki ke loaʻa i kahi kikowaena o kahi lāʻau kahiko i kahi kūlana maikaʻi.
ʻO kaʻili a me kaʻiʻo he palupalu, paʻakikī a me ke ahi kūpaʻa a hiki ke hoʻohanaʻia e ulana i ke kaula a me ka lole. Hoʻohana pūʻia nā huahana Baobab e hana i ka hamo, kaʻaila a me ke kope; oiai ke hoʻohanaʻiaʻana o ka lāʻau a me nā lau i nā lāʻau lapaʻau. He mea ola nā baobab no nā mea ulu oʻAmelika, no ka mea, ke hana pinepine neiʻo ia i kāna meaolaola pono'ī. Hāʻawi ia i ka meaʻai a me ka hale hoʻomaha no ka nui o nāʻano, mai ke kikowaʻi liʻiliʻi loa i ka'elo African ikaika.
ʻO kahi'ōkuu o kēia manawa
ʻO nā hua baobab e like me kaʻulaʻula-i uhiʻia, ka ipu a piha i piha i nāʻanoʻeleʻeleʻeleʻele i hoʻopuniʻia e ke kāpena, pila pulp. Keʻike pinepine nei nā'Āiwi Africans i nā baobab e like me ka'āpīpō-wī, a uaʻike i nā pono o ka lawelaweʻana i ka hua a me nā lau no nā kenekulia. Hiki ke kuke i ka lau'ōpiopio aʻaiʻia e like me ka meaʻokoʻa i ka'ōnihi,ʻoiai e hoʻonā pinepineʻia ka huapalapala, a laila e hui pū me ka inu.
ʻO nā makahiki i hala aku nei, ua mahalo ka Honua o ka Honua i nā hua baobab e like me ke kino o ka nui, mahalo i kona mau kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o ka calcium, ka hao, ka potassium, a me ka Vitamin C. Ua haʻiʻia kekahi mau huapalapala o ka huapalapala C fruit like the equivalent of pulp ʻO nā lālā hou. He 50 ka nui o ka nui o ka nui o ka nui o ka momona ma mua o ka'ōnihi, a ua'ōleloʻia no kaʻiliʻana o kaʻili, ka poho kaumaha a me ka maikaʻi o ka maʻi o ka cardiovascular.
Nā Leo Lepaʻo Baobab
Nui nā moʻolelo a me nā moʻolelo e pili ana i nā baobab. Ma ke kahawaiʻo Zambezi , he nui nāʻohana i manaʻo he kū pono nā baoba, akā, ua maikaʻi loa kona maikaʻi ma mua o nā kumu liʻiliʻi a puni ka mea i manaʻo ai nā akua e aʻo i nā baobab i kahi haʻawina. Ua hukiʻia lākou a kanuʻia i lalo, i mea e hoʻomaha ai a aʻo i ka haʻahaʻa o ka lāʻau.
Ma nā wahi'ē aʻe, nā kumu kūikawā i nā moʻolelo e pili ana iā lākou. ʻO Kafue National Parkʻo Zambia kahi home nui loa, kahi iʻikeʻia e nā kama'āinaʻo Kondanamwali (ka lāʻau eʻai i nā kaikamāhine). Wahi a ka moʻolelo, ua aloha ka lāʻau me nā kaikamāhine kū mokuʻehā, ka mea i pale i ka lāʻau aʻimi i nā kāne kāne. I ka hoʻopaʻiʻana, ua hukiʻia e nā kumulāʻau i nā kaikamahine i loko o ka hale a mālamaʻia ma laila no ka wa pauʻole.
Ma nā wahi'ē aʻe, ua manaʻoʻiaʻo ka holoiʻana i kahi keikikāne ma kahi lāʻau kahi e hoʻomohoʻia ai ka baobab e kōkua iā ia e ulu a ikaika; ʻoiai kekahi poʻe e mālama i ke kuʻuna eʻoi aku ka momona o nā wāhine e noho ana ma kahi o ka baobab ma mua o ka poʻe e noho ana ma kahi āpau me kaʻole o nā baobabs. I nā wahi he nui,ʻikeʻia nā lāʻau nunui e hoʻomauʻia nei he hōʻailona o ke kaiāulu, a he wahi hōʻiliʻili.
ʻO ka papa o ka Baobab he kūlana aupuni kūʻokoʻa Pelekikena'Āina, i hoʻokumuʻia i ka makahiki 2002. Hoʻoholoʻia kēlā makahiki i kēlā me kēia makahiki e ka pelekikena Pelekikena'Alekania i nā kānaka no ke kūlanaʻoihana i kaʻoihana o kaʻoihana a me ka hoʻokele waiwai; ka'enepekema, nā lāʻau lapaʻau, a me ka hana hou hou. ole i ka lawelawe kaiāulu. Ua kapaʻiaʻo ia no ka hoʻomanawanui o ka baobab, a me ka waiwai o ka moʻomeheu a me ka pilina.
