All About Mesquite Powder – LiveSuperFoods.com
https://livesuperfoods.com/live-superfoods-mesquite-powder.html When you think of mesquite, it’s usually with BBQ meats and grilled foods? Well, there’s another way to enjoy this flavor with benefits.
Organic Mesquite Powder
The powder is ground from the seed pods of the mesquite plant, found in arid areas around the world, including parts of South America and the southwestern U.S.
In desert areas, mesquite seed pods have long been used by the indigenous peoples, as a sweetener or a fermented alcoholic drink.
But it’s more than just taste… mesquite is effective in balancing
blood sugar because of its fructose content, which does not require
insulin for metabolism. In fact, in areas with great dependence on
mesquite, there are very low rates of diabetes.
Mesquite is also high in protein and fiber, helping with satiety and
digestion, but also alkanalizing minerals like calcium, magnesium
and potassium.
How to use it
Our organic mesquite powder can be used in breads, biscuits, and
other baked goods, used in combination with other flours. The
powder’s molasses-like flavor, with a slight hint of caramel, also
goes well in teas, coffees, and smoothies. As a seasoning, it can be
added to virtually any vegetable or meat dishes, or even sprinkled
on desserts.
