Kawaiisu Food, Beverage Berries used to make a beverage. Berries were covered with a thin layer of dirt and sifted in a yaduci so that the dirt fell through. Then they were sprinkled with water, kneaded with the hands, mashed and soaked 'in the sun' for about a half day. The yaduci was used as a sieve to remove the berry pulp from the infusion which could be drunk thus or mixed with chia. Water could be drained through the berry pulp a second time. The liquid was said to be sweet and fattening. Zigmond, Maurice L., 1981, Kawaiisu Ethnobotany, Salt Lake City. University of Utah Press, page 11 |
