Ma nā mauna ʻo Andes o Peru, aia kahi mea kanu kūʻokoʻa - ka kulina uliuli. He ʻokoʻa kēia kulina mai ka kulina melemele a keʻokeʻo paha a mākou e ʻike mau ai. He uliuli kona waihoʻoluʻu, he mea kū hoʻokahi. Nui ka poʻe e ʻimi nei i kēia kulina kupua a hele i Peru e ʻike i kāna mau mea huna.
He mōʻaukala ʻo ka palaoa ʻulaʻula ma mua o 7,000 mau makahiki ma Peru a ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea kanu kuʻuna o ka moʻomeheu Inca. I ka wā ma mua, ua manaʻo ʻia ke kulina uliuli he meaʻai kapu a hoʻohana ʻia i nā manawa kūikawā e like me nā hoʻomana a me nā ʻahaʻaina. I ka wā Inca civilization, ua manaʻo ʻia ka kulina uliuli he lāʻau lapaʻau kupanaha.
Loaʻa i ka kulina uliuli kona kala mai kekahi o kona mau puaʻa maoli, i kapa ʻia he anthocyanins. ʻO nā Anthocyanins nā antioxidants kūlohelohe maoli ʻaʻole wale e kōkua i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana akā kōkua pū kekahi i ka pale ʻana i nā maʻi he nui, e like me ka maʻi puʻuwai a me ke kanesa. No laila, ʻaʻole he meaʻai ʻono wale ke kulina uliuli, akā he meaʻai maikaʻi loa.
ʻAʻole kulina uliuli Peruvian ka kulina maʻamau. Ua ulu ia mai kahi ʻano ʻano like ʻole i kapa ʻia ʻo "kulli" (ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo "corn colored" ma Quechua). Hiki ke ulu kēia ʻano kumu ma nā piʻi maloʻo ma nā wahi kiʻekiʻe, nā haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa a me nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe. Ma muli o ko lākou ulu ʻana i nā kūlana paʻakikī, hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia kēia mau ʻano kulina polū ma ke ʻano o ka pale ʻana i nā maʻi a me ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke kaiapuni.
I kēia manawa, ua lilo ka kulina uliuli i mea kanu nui ma Peru, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopuka wale i ka meaʻai ʻono, akā hiki ke hana ʻia i loko o nā mea ʻono like ʻole, e like me nā tortillas Inca kahiko, nā mea inu kulina, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. ka waiwai o Peru, e hele ana i na wahi a pau o ka honua a e hookipa ia ana e na kanaka he nui aku.
