Inā e hoʻolālā anaʻoe i kahi huakaʻi hele i'Akelika Hema, e manaʻoʻoe eʻike i ka biltong i nā wahi a pau āu e hele ai. ʻO Biltong kahi'ākena punahele loa o'Akelika Hema a me kahi māhele o ka moʻomeheu o ka'āina. E kūʻaiʻia ana ia ma nā pūnaehana kūkini, ma nā kumukūʻai supermarket, ma nā wahi hānai a me nā haleʻaina i uka. Akā he aha ia?

ʻOiai he mauʻiʻo ka moa a me kaʻiʻo puaʻa, ka pipi a me ka pāʻani kaʻai maʻamau maʻamau. ŸO ka moÿokumu (ÿike ÿia ÿo venison ma Aferika Hema) e pili ana i nä holoholona o ka nahele - me ka impala, ka ÿaoÿao hema, ka pälü a me ka ostrich. He nui nāʻAmelika e hana i ka kuhi o ka manaʻoʻanaʻo ka biltong ka paneʻana o'Akelika Hema i ka pipi bee - akā i kaʻoiaʻiʻo, aia konaʻano kūikawā kūikawā, ka hana hana, ka moʻomeheu a me ka moʻaukala.
Ka Moolelo o Biltong
Ua mālama ka poʻe Pelekānia o South Africa i kaʻiʻo i loko o kekahiʻano aiʻole kekahi no nā makahiki he mau makahiki. Me nā poho aiʻole nā pahi paʻipaʻi no ka paleʻana i kā lākou meaʻai mai ka hao wale, ua hoʻohana nā meaʻimi'āleʻele i nā lole i ka paʻakai ma mua o ke kauʻana iā lākou mai nā kumu lāʻau e maloʻo ai. I ka makahiki 17, ua hoʻokumu nā poʻe noho maʻEulopa i kēiaʻano mālama ola, akā ua hoʻohuiʻia ka vīnega a me ka saltpetre (pālolo pālolo) i ke kaʻina ho'ōla. ʻO ke kumu o ka hanaʻana pēlā,ʻo ia ke pepehiʻana i ka bacteria ma kaʻiʻo, no laila e hoʻemiʻia ai ka maʻi.
I ka makahiki 19, uaʻikeʻia ka poʻe loea Dutch i kapaʻiaʻo Voortrekkers i kā lākou mau mahiʻai ma Cape, i mea e pakele ai i ka mana o ka Kolepale aliʻi Kolekania. ʻO lākou kahi meaʻai a me ka palahoʻole, no ka mālamaʻana iā lākou i ko lākou neʻeʻana i ke kūkulu'ākau, i kapaʻiaʻo ka Great Trek. ʻO kaʻiʻo i hoʻomaʻemaʻeʻia ke kumu kūpono loa, aʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea i hoʻolako i ka Voorterekkers me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻeʻana i ka hana o ka biltong-making, no laila e hana ana i ka meaʻai e like me kā mākouʻike i kēia lā.
Pehea i hanaʻia aiʻo Biltong
I kēia lā,ʻo ka hana o ka hanaʻana i ka pilikino e like me ka mea i hoʻohanaʻia e nā Voorterekkers - me nāʻano hou hou. ʻO ke kohoʻana i kahi'āpana maikaʻi o kaʻiʻo ka mea mua. ʻO ka mea maʻamau, i ka hanaʻana i ka pipi bipi, keʻano o ke kelepaʻi a me kaʻokiʻoki i nā meaʻoi. A laila, eʻokiʻokiʻia kaʻiʻo i loko o nā'āpana, ma mua o ka holoiʻia a hoʻokaweʻia paha i ka vīneka. ʻO ka mea'ē aʻe, hoʻopukaʻia nā pā i kahi hui meaʻala, kahi i kauʻia me ka paʻakai, ka paʻakai, nā hua koriana coriander a me ka pepaʻeleʻele.
ʻO ka mea maʻamau, ua waihoʻia nā paʻi e hoʻomoʻi i ka meaʻala i ka pō, ma mua o ke kauʻiaʻana e maloʻo ma kahi wahi maikaʻi. I kēia mau lā, hiki i ka papa hana maloʻo maloʻo kahi hana maʻalahi i kēia kaʻina o ke kaʻina hana, me kaʻoi aku o ka mana o ka biltong ma luna o ka mahana a me ka wai. ʻO keʻano maʻamau, kahiʻehā mau lā; ʻoiai e hoʻohanaʻia nā umu poli elele i mea e wikiwiki ai ke kaʻina hana. No nāʻano purists biltong, akā,ʻo nāʻano kahiko ka mea maikaʻi loa.

Ma keʻano he mea nui o ka moʻomeheu South African, heʻoi aku kaʻoi aku o ka maikaʻi o ka biltong i nā mea maʻamau likeʻole me nā pīpī a me ke kui. He kumu maikaʻi loa ia o ka protein, me 57.2 mau'emu ma ka 100 mau mele.
ʻO ka hana o ka maloʻo ma mua o kaʻaiʻana,ʻo ia ka mea e hoʻomau i ka nui o kona mau meaʻai, me nā minela nui e like me ka hao, zinc a me ka magnesium. No kēlā mau calorie e helu nei,ʻoi aku ka lewa o ka biltong game ma mua o ka biltong beef, a no laila he koho maikaʻi loa.
Kahi e ho'āʻo ai i ka Biltong?
MaʻAmelika Hema a me nā'āina'ē e like me Namibia, ua maʻalahi ka maʻalahi o ka heluʻana i ka waihona lohi i hoʻomahaʻia mai ka hale kūʻai kokoke. Ināʻoe ma waho o ka'āina, akā naʻe, hiki i kāu hoʻonohonoho pilikino ke hana i kahi mea maʻalahi. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā kūlanakauhale nui ma UK a me ka US no nā hale kūʻai o'Akelika Hema, e like me Jonty Jacobs ma New York a me San Diego; aiʻole Jumbo South African Shop ma Lākana. I ka hopena, eʻikeʻoe i ka pilina ma kahi o nā meaʻono'ē aʻe o South African,ʻo ia hoʻiʻo Rooibos tea,ʻo Mrs. Ball's chutney a me Wilsons.
Eia kekahi, aia kekahi mau pūnaewele e hoʻokuʻu ana i nā pilikino a me nā waiwai'ē aʻe o'Akelika Hui PūʻIa, e like me ka South African Food Shop i ka US, a me Barefoot Biltong ma UK. Ināʻoe e noʻonoʻo maoli, hiki iāʻoe ke ho'āʻo e hana i kou iho iho ma ka home. He nui nā pūnaewele e hāʻawi ana i nā meaʻai a me nā alakaʻi no ka hanaʻana i ka pahu kūpono -ʻoiai he mea ia o kahiʻoihana, a ponoʻoe e manaʻo e hāʻawi iʻelua mau ho'āʻo ma mua o ka loaʻaʻana o nā hopena maikaʻi. I mea e maʻalahi ai, e noʻonoʻo i ka hoʻonohonohoʻana i nā meaʻono a me ka hale holoi maloʻo mai ka Amazon site UK.
