“Ba:wĭ have sustained the Tohono O’odham for generations. Grown in the blistering hot summer of the Sonoran Desert, Ba:wĭ are the most heat and drought tolerant crops in the world. In Tohono O’odham legend, the Milky Way is made up of white tepary beans scattered across the sky.” – From I’itoi’s Garden
