Kalahari Mongongo

A tier

Kalahari mongongo names the classic desert-margin ecology of the nut, the landscape most associated with San mongongo reliance. Nuts are a wild staple story, not an orchard brand. Quality depends on harvest care and rapid protection of oily meats. Poor handling turns them paint-like. Cook or grind traditional ways. Catalog copy should stress ecology and culture over supermarket snack tropes.
