Raw Organic Mesquite Powder
Mesquite meal is a traditional Native American food produced by gathering ripened seed-pods from the mesquite tree (a relative of the Acacias) and grinding them into a fine powder. Used as a staple food for centuries by desert dwellers, this high protein meal contains good quantities of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc, and is rich in the amino acid lysine as well. It has a sweet, distinctive wild flavour with a hint of caramel, which blends well into smoothies or other drinks, especially those made with cacao and maca. Its low GI of 25 helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.
We like to use it to give a boost to raw chocolate recipes, in bliss balls, sprinkled over cereal or blended into a raw chocolate smoothie.
