Inside were Wild peas, Groundnuts, wild peanuts, pineapples, Yams, Sweet potatoes, Cassava, Wild taro, ripe mangoes, unripe mangoes, passion fruits, kiwis, cucumbers, Fatty seeds, Berry seeds and beneath them lay a colorful spread of vegetables—spinach, waterleaf, pumpkin leaves, and wild carrots—along with several types of berries clustered in large woven leaf pouches.
