Bowa si zomera kapena nyama, ndi ufumu wosiyana. Bowa umene timatola ndi kudya ndi gawo laling'ono chabe la chamoyo chachikulu. Maziko ake ndi mycelium. Ili ndi thupi lamoyo, ngati lolukidwa ndi ulusi wopyapyala. Mycelium nthawi zambiri imabisika m'nthaka kapena michere ina, ndipo imatha kufalikira mazana a mita. Siziwoneka mpaka thupi la bowa likukula pamenepo, kaya ndi chanterelle, toadstool kapena "chisa cha mbalame".
M'zaka za m'ma 1960s bowa adagawidwa ngati bowa (lat. – bowa). Banja ili limaphatikizanso yisiti, myxomycetes, ndi zamoyo zina zokhudzana nazo.
Pafupifupi mitundu 1,5 mpaka 2 miliyoni ya bowa imamera Padziko Lapansi, ndipo 80 yokha mwa iyo yadziwika bwino. Mwachidziwitso, pamtundu umodzi wa zomera zobiriwira, pali mitundu 1 ya bowa.
Mwanjira zina bowa ali pafupi nyamakuposa zomera. Mofanana ndi ife, iwo amapuma mpweya wa okosijeni ndi kutulutsa mpweya woipa. Mapuloteni a bowa amafanana ndi mapuloteni a nyama.
Bowa amakula kuchokera mkanganoosati mbewu. Bowa umodzi wokhwima umatulutsa tinjere zokwana 16 biliyoni!
Zithunzi zojambulidwa m’manda a Afarao zimasonyeza kuti Aiguputo ankaona kuti ndi bowa “chomera chosafa”. Panthawiyo, anthu a m’mabanja achifumu okha ndi amene ankadya bowa; anthu wamba analetsedwa kudya zipatso zimenezi.
M'chinenero cha mafuko ena a ku South America, bowa ndi nyama zimatchulidwa ndi mawu omwewo, poganiza kuti ndizofanana ndi zakudya.
Aroma akale ankatcha bowa “chakudya cha milungu”.
Mu mankhwala achi China, bowa wakhala akugwiritsidwa ntchito kwa zaka zikwi zambiri pochiza matenda osiyanasiyana. Sayansi yaku Western tsopano yayamba kugwiritsa ntchito mankhwala omwe amapezeka mu bowa. Penicillin ndi streptomycin ndi zitsanzo zamphamvu mankhwalazochokera ku bowa. Mankhwala ena a antibacterial ndi antiviral amapezekanso mu ufumuwu.
Bowa amaonedwa kuti ndi amphamvu chitetezo cha mthupi. Amathandiza kulimbana ndi mphumu, chifuwa, nyamakazi ndi matenda ena. Katundu wa bowa uku akufufuzidwa mwachangu ndi asing'anga akumadzulo, ngakhale kuti machiritso a bowa amatha kufalikira kwambiri.
Mofanana ndi anthu, bowa amapanga vitamini D akakhala padzuwa ndi cheza cha ultraviolet. Yotsirizira ntchito mu mafakitale kulima bowa. Mwachitsanzo, kutumikiridwa kwa mitaki kuli ndi 85% ya kudya kwa tsiku ndi tsiku kwa vitamini D. Masiku ano, chidwi chochuluka chimaperekedwa ku kusowa kwa vitamini iyi, yomwe imagwirizana ndi matenda ambiri, kuphatikizapo khansa.
Bowa ndi:
Gwero la niacin
Gwero la selenium, fiber, potaziyamu, mavitamini B1 ndi B2
Palibe cholesterol
Otsika ma calories, mafuta ndi sodium
antioxidants
Ndipo ndi mphatso yeniyeni ya chilengedwe, yopatsa thanzi, yokoma, yabwino mwamtundu uliwonse komanso yokondedwa ndi gourmets ambiri.
