Panocha, in New Mexico and southern Colorado, is a pudding made from ground sprouted wheat and piloncillo. It is traditionally eaten during Lent.[1] The sprouted-wheat flour is called "panocha flour" or simply "panocha", as well.[2]
In other regions, "panocha" can mean penuche or panuche.In Spanish slang, it is a taboo word for the vulva, a fact that has led to many deliberate and accidental puns. It can also mean a coward.
In some regions of Spain (e.g. Aragón), una panocha de maiz is an ear of corn.
