Mesquite Flour?

[katerinvon]

Anyone out here from the Southwest who has experimented with mesquite flour? I have recipies in a Native American cookbook using mesquite meal, but haven't tried them yet. I do have access to the beans. The meal is supposed to be sweet and nutritious.

I have it and use it. It's great. Makes cinnamon chebe taste even better. Great with Chicken and apples..baked in apple juice with cinnamon and honey.

Do you grow and grind it yourself, or does someone actually sell it?

I have nearly a fifty gallon drum full of pods. I'm thinking of planting them around the parimeter of the ranch as a windbreak. If we can use them as a food, that would be great. I already know the goats like them.

Pricey, but lasts forever because you only need a tblsp for most recipes. They say you can use 2tblsps....but that is too much. It's great. You should get some.

Love the laugh signs! I can't seem to get them to work on my computer.

Seriously, though, mesquite is native out here. Might as well use what we've got lots of.

Just checked out the prices on that mesquite flour. Maybe I should open a business!

I read you can actually chew on them raw. Research it on line. There's lots of info on them.

O.K. This may sound silly, but I just saw it on a show called Reading Rainbow, eating the pods raw and grinding it. The taste is supposed to vary greatly from raw to ground. If you would care to share the wealth of some of those pods, contact me. I'm very curious to taste them, and I would love to experiment with cooking and baking.
