ured beans are then spread out on canvas sacking to dry in the sun. At night they are brought inside. The cured beans will gain their final brown color as they dry in the sun. Drying in the sun Drying in the shade

The following day they are again laid out in the sun then rolled up in the sacking for the curing process to continue. This is repeated for several weeks on end, during which the beans are constantly sorted, according to level of dryness or size and depending on whether they are split open or not. When sufficiently dry they are removed from the sun and go on drying in the shade.
