The staple foods of Chlouvānem cuisine common across most areas are rice (''lūdya''<ref>Uncooked rice is called ''maɂika''.</ref>), sticky rice (''ñañām''), plantains (''jaɂukas'') soybeans (''miltai''), purple yam (''hunai''), lentils (''mahīra''), chickpeas (''gubham''), many other types of legumes (collectively ''bågras''), many kinds of nuts (generically ''dāneh''), and, among greens, various kinds of cabbages (''hauša'', ''šųlah'', and '' | The staple foods of Chlouvānem cuisine common across most areas are rice (''lūdya''<ref>Uncooked rice is called ''maɂika''.</ref>), sticky rice (''ñañām''), plantains (''jaɂukas'') soybeans (''miltai''), purple yam (''hunai''), lentils (''mahīra''), chickpeas (''gubham''), many other types of legumes (collectively ''bågras''), many kinds of nuts (generically ''dāneh''), and, among greens, various kinds of cabbages (''hauša'', ''šųlah'', and ''prāšus'' being three of the most common ones). Rice is the main staple food (starch source) in about half of the country, with ''saišah'' - a [[w:nshima|nshima]]-like dish made from Calémerian maize flour or ''læmāh'' (the flour of the ''lambā'' tuber) being predominant in the other half<ref>The division between rice and ''saišah'' areas is, unsurprisingly, mainly climatic: ''saišah'' predominates in areas that are more arid. The northernmost areas (Aratāram island and Pūrjijāṇa) have rye as their main starch source as they're too cold to grow reliable amounts of rice, lambā, or maize.</ref>. Spices are extensively used, as are many fruits, both fresh and pickled. With only a few exceptions (most notably tea, cocoa, and cane sugar), Chlouvānem cuisine is also often local well into modern society; buying products and ingredients from elsewhere in the country is not a common practice. | ||
The ingredients used in Chlouvānem cuisine are extremely different from place to place, which reflects the tropical climate of most of the nation and its abundance of fruits and other agricultural products. In most of the country, fresh fruit is commonly eaten throughout the whole day, and in most cities there are trees - especially of coconuts and bananas, that are extensively grown throughout the whole country - that can be harvested freely by citizens. | The ingredients used in Chlouvānem cuisine are extremely different from place to place, which reflects the tropical climate of most of the nation and its abundance of fruits and other agricultural products.
