Description:
Mesquite is a traditional food of indigenous cultures from arid regions of South America. Today, mesquite’s distinct flavor and aroma continue to be enjoyed in many culinary applications, and it’s health benefits widely respected. Ultimate Superfoods 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, it’s easy to see why this Native American staple is a modern day superfood. Mesquite Pod Meal contains up to 17% protein with a high lysine content. Best of all, Ojio Organic Mesquite Powder has a pleasant taste that blends well with flour to add nutrition to baked goods and condiments.

Lysine has been reported to help the body absorb and conserve calcium, create collagen, helps to build and repair muscle tissue, and helps to manage and prevent painful and unsightly herpes sores caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Since, lysine is important for calcium absorption and conservation, it can be surmised that taking mesquite may be beneficial for maintaining healthy teeth.

Ultimate Superfoods' Ojio Organic Mesquite Powder, also known as algarrobo, is a whole food that comes from the wild Mesquite forests of northern Argentina. The pods are harvested by hand by families living in the area. Once the seeds are removed to ensure a long shelf life, the pods are ground into a fine powder that is perfect for baking. This product has only one ingredient, mesquite, which is raw (low temperature dried), gluten free, vegan, and 100% organic.

Suggested Uses: Blend it into salad dressings, use in baking or add to soups, sauces, pie crusts, and smoothies. In Argentina, Mesquite has been added to milk instead of cocoa for a nutritious treat. As a spice, add to recipes such as cookies, cakes or breads, mix into smoothies or yogurt! The great taste makes experimenting almost foolproof!
