Nimí Dried Locust Beans
Sun-dried whole beans, built to travel
Whole beans, sun-dried rather than milled, for cooks who prefer the traditional texture but need something shelf-stable — a favourite with diaspora buyers packing beans for the trip home.
How to use it
Rinse briefly in warm water to soften before adding to soups, or crush lightly for a stronger release of flavour. Reconstitutes well in any dish that usually calls for iru.
Storage
Keeps well at room temperature in a sealed container, away from direct sunlight and moisture, for several months — this is the variant built for travel and long storage.
