Mesquite flour is a popular flour derived from the pods of mesquite trees, which are native to parts of the southwestern United States and Mexico.

Mesquite flour has been used by Native American tribes for centuries, first as a food source and later for its quality properties.

Mesquite flour was a food staple of many Pueblo and Apache tribes, who would grind the pods into a flour-like meal.

The tribes used mesquite flour to make cakes, bread, porridge, and beer. Later, mesquite flour was discovered to have unique properties and was used to create greater nourishment.

Today, mesquite flour is still popular among Native American tribes and is also becoming a popular ingredient among health-conscious individuals.

It is used in baking and smoothies and as a flavoring agent in many recipes.

Some research suggests that Mesquite may contain the following constituents:

Minerals: Boron, Chromium, Copper, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Phosphorus, Zinc
Vitamins: Vitamin C, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B-6, Folate, Choline

Mesquite powder

I used to eat mesquites off the tree as a child. I needed to experience the taste again.
Not as sweet as I remember, but the one my grandma made didn’t include the seeds.
It did however fulfilled the crave. Thank you
