Mesquite Flour

A friend of mine just told me about Mesquite flour. I've never heard of it before and don't believe I've tried any foods with it in it. Is anyone here familiar with it? Bake with it? It sounds to me like it would spice up gluten free apple pancakes? Maybe pumkin spice breads/cakes/muffins/pancakes? Is it easy to work with?

Here's a site that explains the glycemic index for mesquite flour. They claim it's low and therefore good for diabetics. I'm really into this. Anyone else intrigued? If it's got this nutty, spicey flavor, it must be a great addition to Thanksgiving meals. I just ordered some from Casa de Fruta. When I make apple pancakes, I'll let you know how they come out. Since I don't cook all that much, can anyone recommend a flour to use with the mesquite? It says that using 25% mesquite to another flour keeps the flavor balanced. I guess it's too strong to use alone. Do you suppose an all purpose pancake mix gluten free flour would be the best thing to use?

Here are recipes that include dinners. I love the vegetable stir fry idea and it sounds good on chicken cooked with apples...

Wow! This flour sounds really interesting. I want to try it, but I think I will wait to hear your results, since it's a bit on the expensive side.

As far as flour to blend with it instead of wheat, I think your idea of using a gluten free flour mix is a good idea, since you don't bake much and might not have other flours on hand. If you have other gluten free flour available, you might try equal parts of Sorghum, garbanzo and tapioca flour.

I'll be watching this thread to see what you think of the mesquite flour. ;)

I haven't tried mesquite yet either, but have been curious. I've seen the ruby range advertised a lot. You can ck out their gluten-free mixes etc here: Open Original Shared Link Not sure if there prices or products are better than any others...

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
