Ciknok

Ciknok is the commonest grain grown in the south. It enjoys wet regions and is actually a nut, growing on long, trailing vines in sunny or partially sunny places. Each vine produces a multitude of small, white flowers. Each becomes a small, dry seed/nut. It is very, very productive, nearly as productive as Hap Sakti.

Ciknok, scientific name Cikna amucni, is a domesticated vine grown in southern and eastern Yalhuaca. It enjoys wet weather, and is grown for its seeds, which are like nuts. The vines are very long, up to 20 feet trailing or 30 feet growing up a log/tree, producing buckets of seeds on large flower clusters of 3-5 bisexual small 3-petaled white flowers.

It is processed in a Kašim to produce Okimce, however this produces a very oily, unusable Okimce. An oil extraction machine, known as the Antakim, is used. This extracts most of the oil, which is known as Isa Ciknok. The leftover pulp is used as Okimce. This whole process reduces the volume of powder by 30%, one of the reasons Hap Sakti is often favoured over Ciknok, though Ciknok produces both oil and Okimce.
