Ntang (Edible Seeds)

Ntang are edible native seeds. The seeds are collected under trees by laying a tarp on the ground and hitting the tree continuously until most of the seeds have fallen. Once the seeds are collected they are then ground with a mortar and grinding stone.

A number of these grinding stones have been in families for generations. Once seeds are ground, water is added and mixed until a damper-like substance is formed and placed under the coals until cooked.
