Panocha is a pudding made from ground sprouted wheat and piloncillo in New Mexico and southern Colorado. It is traditionally eaten during Lent. [1] The sprouted-wheat flour is called "panocha flour" or simply "panocha", as well. [2]
In the Philippines, panocha (also spelled panutsa or panotsa) is the Spanish term for sangkaka , a traditional native jaggery made in halved coconut shells. The term is also used to refer to a type of peanut brittle in the Philippines (more properly panocha mani ). [3] [4]
