Reconocimiento del tarwi en el ámbito gastronómico, por medio de la aplicación de su harina.

Abstract

The cultivation and consumption of this legume is being significantly diminished in the Andean countries, where Colombia is one of the countries where it is practically not cultivated or consumed, due to lack of knowledge as to forms of use, nutritional value and advantage with respect to the resistance to adverse climatic factors (Jacobsen & Mujica, 2006). Through this research we seek to recognize the tarwi in the gastronomic field through applications in pastry, bakery and pastry areas using a basic product: flour. To carry out the main objective the methodology was divided into 4 stages, 1) Des bitter, 2) Dehydration, 3) Gastronomic Applications and 4) Evaluation of applications, finally stage 5) where an informative recipe was made. The stages were developed where it was evidenced that: the best way to distil the tarwi was during 5 days being on the second day a cooking for 1 hour, according to the results obtained the most relevant products at the time of the surveys. Palatability of the products were the brownie, the ice cream.
