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]
