What is Mesquite Powder? Top Nutritive Properties

SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE!: bit.ly/2OsRhsi
What exactly is mesquite powder and where does it come from? Not from the mesquite wood you may be familiar with using for smoking BBQ foods, but from another part of this hardy desert plant species. We had the fortunate pleasure of harvesting mesquite in its prime habitat and got to know its "fruit" pods up close and personal!
Here in this video, we'll discuss some interesting facts about the mesquite tree and of course the 4 main nutritional assets of mesquite when used as a ground powder. Feel free to use the Video Chapter links below to jump to your preferred section of choice.

Mesquite has a long traditional history of use in the human diet. Let's learn about the hearty Mesquite Tree and it's prolific fruits the Mesquite pods...

[@johnaustin6067]

Thank you

[@laurieparis2203]

Thanks for the video! I live in Texas so I'm familiar with mesquite wood as a flavoring in barbecue/smoking meats, also the trees have been pointed out to me. I had never heard of mesquite flour before so this was a nice surprise! Tempted to try some. 🌱

[@TheVigilantStewards]

I love these videos. I live in Texas and mesquite in many areas grows so well - it's good to know in Texas where it's hard to grow things that something here is suitable for supporting life!

[@SuperfoodEvolution]

Yes Mesquite is a great tree and foodstuff!

[@dianastoevelaar9548]

You’ve been a great resource for many many years and I’m always thrilled to be able to share your videos with others knowing they are the most concise, educational and professionally produced videos on any particular superfood. ❤Keep them coming, please! 😊

Mesquite pods look similar to TAMARINDO. I grew up eating it in a form of a paste sweet and sour candy. It's good! A couple of weeks ago we went to a farmer's market because my mom wanted 4 lbs of nopales. They sold tunas aka prickly pears of all colors too. OMG you're all missing out if you haven't tried them. Anyhow, I'm going to look into mesquite pods/powder and see what my mom has to say about it. Thank you for uploading these videos. Take care.

[@laurieparis2203]

Hi Suzy! I have sometimes seen the nopales in the market. What is your favorite way of preparing them? Can you simply pan fry them with a few seasonings?

[@SuperfoodEvolution]

Thanks for watching!

[@MsCaterific]

💛I really appreciate this channel.

[@SuperfoodEvolution]

We appreciate that!

[@rayeaglenz]

Thanks for your comment!

[@foodpimpz9086]

I think I have this in my backyard, interesting.

[@SuperfoodEvolution]

Cool!

[@SupaSk1llz]

I'm a bit late to the party but there is a South African company called MannaBrew that sell a roasted and ground Mesquite powder specifically for making "coffee", if anyone is interested.

[@yolandachakoetoe4729]

The Prosopis juliflora grows on Curaçao, locally known as Indju. It resembles the mesquit plant.

[@AquariusNation777]

Thank you for the information

[@SuperfoodEvolution]

You're so welcome!

[@SarahSmith-nr2wj]

My friend made me a raw cacao pudding which was sooo delicious, when I asked him, 'my god what's in this?', he said, 'it's a mesquitret' 😆

[@jessicafaith5483]

That sounds DELICIOUS 🤤

[@SarahSmith-nr2wj]

[@lindamariecarter5962]

Good to know

[@grantchang81976]

mesquite is good BBQ sauce my fav american BBQ

[@eliseolopez2790]

Contains sugars.how about this for sugar substitution

[@ana-pi6ut]

Does anyone know the oxalate content of Mesquite Powder?

[@TheVigilantStewards]

That is a bummer about the insects, if you don't want to eat animal products then you'd have to inspect the pods to make sure none are left behind in there

[@SuperfoodEvolution]

They are pretty much in all of them we've found...

[@socialmotivator6299]

Good

[@SuperfoodEvolution]

Thanks!

[@abufahad3091]

😮

[@johnlord8337]

Sounds like a carob tree and carob powder instead of chocolate powder. Mesquite, carob, and tamarind edible pods for nutrition.

[@TheVigilantStewards]

Love carob
