Aia kekahi meaʻai e noho pinepine ana i loko o ka hale lole no nā mahina no ka mea he liʻiliʻi wale nō ka pono. Ua like pinepine ia me ke kō. Akā, hiki anei i ke kō ke hele ʻino? ʻO nā mea a pau e pili ana i ke ola o ka mea ʻono.
ʻO kahi spoonful i loko o ke kofe a i kēlā me kēia manawa ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻomoʻa - ʻaʻole maʻamau ke kō ka meaʻai a mākou e ʻai nui ai i kēlā me kēia lā. No laila, kū pinepine i loko o ke kīʻaha kīʻaha no ka manawa lōʻihi. Akā, pehea ka lōʻihi? Hiki ke kino ke kō? Pīhoihoi ka pane iaʻu.
Hiki ke kino ke kō?
Ua nānā pono ʻoe i ka ʻeke kō? Ke ʻimi nei ʻoe i kahi lā maikaʻi loa ma mua, e ʻike ʻoe ʻaʻole i hāʻawi ʻia, ʻoiai ma Kelemānia pono e hōʻike ʻia kahi lā pau i nā meaʻai āpau. Eia naʻe, ʻae ʻia kekahi mau huahana mai kēia kuleana, e like me ke kō.
ʻAʻohe lā maikaʻi ma mua o ka ʻeke no ka mea ʻaʻole hiki ke hele hewa ka meaʻai. ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e nīnau iā ʻoe iho i ka nīnau "Pehea ka lōʻihi e mālama ai ke kō?" no ka mea ʻaʻole hiki ke pau ke kō a no laila hiki ke hoʻohana mau ʻia.
No ke aha e mālama mau ai ke kō?
ʻO ke kō kekahi o nā meaʻai maloʻo liʻiliʻi i loaʻa ʻole ka wai. He ʻoiaʻiʻo e hoʻolilo i ka mea ʻono i ʻāina hoʻohua maikaʻi ʻole no nā pathogens o kēlā me kēia ʻano, no ka mea, pono lākou i ka wai e ola ai.
A he aha hou aʻe: he lōʻihi loa ke ola o ke kō, ʻoiai e huki koke ʻo ia i ka wai mai nā pathogens āpau e like me ka mold a i ʻole bacteria e makemake e hoʻopaʻa i ka meaʻai. ʻO ka hopena: ʻaʻole ola nā pathogens a make.
ʻO ke kō ma ke ʻano he mea mālama
ʻAʻole hiki i kēia "superpower" ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole hiki i ke kō ke hele i ka pōʻino iā ia iho akā hana pū kekahi i mea mālama pono. I loko o nā jams, no ka laʻana, ʻaʻole hoʻohana wale ʻia ke kō ma ke ʻano he mea ʻono. Mālama pū ia i ka lōʻihi lōʻihi. Eia nō naʻe, no ka mālama ʻana i ke kō ma ke ʻano he mea mālama, pono ka nui o ka nui. I ka hihia o ka jam, no ka laʻana, pono ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kō i ka 60 pakeneka e hōʻoia i ka make ʻana o nā pathogens.
Hiki i ke kō ʻulaʻula ke hele ʻino?
Pēlā nō i ke kō ʻeleʻele e like me ke kō keʻokeʻo: ʻaʻole hiki ke hele hewa ke ʻano ʻokoʻa o ke kō ʻeleʻele. ʻO ia ke kumu ʻaʻohe lā maikaʻi ma mua o ka hoʻopili ʻana i ke kō ʻulaʻula. Pela no ke ko o ke ko maka a me ke ko. ʻAʻole hiki ke hele hewa ke kō ma kāna iho.
