Mrs Bose Idowu, an agriprenuer at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, has assured farmers and citizens that producing and preserving beans can be natural without application of sniper.

She made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Ibadan.

Idowu, who is a producer of beans, yam flour, plantain flour and local rice, said that she produced clean beans without preservatives.

“Beans with weevils is an indication that the beans was not preserved with any sniper or chemicals, so people should not be losing interest in buying beans with weevils, they are even the best.

“I buy at the right time when the farmers freshly harvest at the farm, after that I seal it properly in a purse bag developed by some scientists.

“The purse has thick nylon inside and the regular sacks cover outside, once one can properly seal it and store well, it can last for six months or even one year.’’ (NAN)
