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...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
