100% Organic Peruvian Mesquite

The Americas Super Food - Morus alba

Mesquite is a traditional food of indigenous Americans from the desert regions of the continents. The seed pods grow on small fast-growing trees and are gathered once ripe. They are pounded into a reddish-brown flour with a slightly nutty and sweet flavor. The powdered seed pods are a valuable staple food due to their high protein content. The flour also contains lysine, an amino acid, as well as notable quantities of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc. Mesquite is of great value to the diabetic because it contains fructose, which does not require insulin to digest - it metabolizes slowly, preventing extreme highs or lows in blood sugar.
