Drying - Drying mill

Pictures:
After the day or two of pre-drying the beans in the mountains of Selva Negra, they are bagged and transported to the city of Chaguitillo (approximately a 30-40 minute drive) where the drying process continues.
Here a different drying method is used, the beans are laid out on large cement patios and spread out into a thin layer of beans to expose them to as much sun as possible. Since here they do not have the benefit of the air reaching them from the top and the bottom, they must be continuously rotated to improve the drying process.
