  • Etnográfica:
    People like to mix iibo bunya with water when the iibo is either fresh or has soured a little, and add sugar (especially if it is fresh bunya) to make a drink. It is a lot of work, as the large tough seeds have to be carried from under the trees in the bush, where they drop Feb.- March (dry weather). Then each seed has to be cracked open by pounding with a rock. After that, the seeds are peeled, boiled for about an hour until they soften, and then have to be mashed. Traditionally this was done with a "rubbing rock," or metate, though many have hand mills now. The paste is then shaped into balls or small loaves, and stored in a waha or banana leaf, or perhaps plastic as of 2008 if to be sold in Bluefields. It is a highly desired product by everyone. However, for the amount of work involved people are not willing to pay more than they ever have, so a palm-sized ball can usually only be sold for 10 cordobas in Bluefields (2009).

Notas:

  • Etnográfica:
    There are a number of different varieties, from so extremely sour and acidic that it is edible (horse pine) to very sweet and non-acidic (sugarloaf). Horse pine will actually cut up your tongue if you try to eat it. They usually just eat pineapple raw, but also sometimes make pineapple wine. To make this, you put the cut peels in a jar with freshly squeezed cane juice and let it ferment in the sun for a few days. Only made in the bush by those who have both sugar cane and a cane press.
