Mesquite is a traditional food of indigenous cultures from the arid regions of the Americas. Today, mesquites distinct flavor and aroma continue to be enjoyed in many culinary applications, and its health benefits widely respected. Navitas Naturals offers this food in its traditional and organic powder form, which carries a sweet, smoky flavor that is similar to carob and caramel. Its inviting taste lends a delightful maltiness when used in sweet treats such as chocolates, as well as creamy concoctions like ice cream or shakes. With naturally low sugars derived from fructose; high amounts of dietary fiber; and notable quantities of protein, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, and zinc, its easy to see why this Native American staple is a modern-day superfood.

The ripe pods are picked, low-temperature dried, and milled into a fine soluble powder. This product has only one ingredient, mesquite, which is raw, gluten-free, kosher, vegan, and 100% organic.
