Description The wild beans, known as Koto-Tisi, grow naturally in the bush without any human cultivation. Once collected, they are cleaned to remove debris and sorted to eliminate damaged seeds. The beans are then sun-dried to prepare them for long-term storage. After drying, they are stored in containers such as weaving baskets or pots for preservation. To ensure they are safe for consumption, the beans are cooked in a process that involves replacing the water multiple times to eliminate harmful toxins.
