ENQUIRE
This is a grass bearing edible seeds that ants collect and put around their nests. My Grandmother and I used to go and collect the seeds from the nests with a cooleman (Wooden bowl). Then we used the cooleman to separate the seeds from the grass. We ground the seeds with a grinding stone to make flour and then add water to make a paste. We cook it with two pieces of bark in the hot sand, buried like an oven. This makes a damper or cake, like a brown bread with seeds. A lot of kids grew up eating this.
