Panocha

Panocha

Panocha in New Mexico and southern Colorado means a pudding made from ground sprouted wheat and "piloncillo". It is traditionally eaten during Lent. The sprouted-wheat flour is called "panocha flour" or simply "panocha" as well.

In other regions, "panocha" can mean penuche or panuche. In the Philippines it means a kind of cane sugar produced by a crude milling process, like panela.

In New Mexico and southern Colorado Spanish slang, it is a taboo word for the vulva, a fact that has led to many deliberate and accidental puns.

In some regions of Spain (e.g. Aragon) "Una panocha de maiz" is an ear of corn.
