Ummbila omnandi
Umbila onushukela (Zea mays convar. i-sacharata var. I-rugosa),[1] obizwa nangokuthi i-sweetcorn, umbila woshukela kanye nombila we-pole, uhlobo lombila olutshalwayo ukuze ludliwe abantu olunoshukela ophakeme.
Umbila onoshukela uwumphumela ukuguquka kwezakhi zofuzo ezenzeka ngokwemvelo ezakhiweni zofuzo ezilawula ukuguqulwa kukashukela ube isitashi ngaphakathi kwe-i-endosperm yenhlamvu yombila. Umbila onoshukela ukhunjwa lapho usengakakhuli (isigaba sobisi) bese ulungiswa futhi udliwe njengemifino, ngokungafani umbila wasensimini, ovunwa lapho izinhlamvu zomile futhi zivuthiwe (isigaba samazinyo). Njengoba inqubo yokuvuthwa ihlanganisa ukuguqula ushukela ube isitashi, umbila onoshukela awugcini kahle futhi kufanele udliwe usanda kuhlatshwa, ufakwe emathinini, noma uqiniswe, ngaphambi kokuba izinhlamvu ziqine futhi zibe nesitashi.
