The mesquite tree is native to dry, arid regions like Argentina, Peru, and the Southwest United States. The mesquite tree yields edible beans that have been used by Native Americans for centuries as a primary source of nutrition. Indigenous people to the harsh climates of North and South America enjoyed mesquite as a sweetener, dessert beverage, and a fermented alcohol drink. Mesquite was so revered in early Native American tribes that it was used as a source of currency to barter with other tribes. Today, many people wonder if the increase in cases of diabetes in Native American tribes is due to the decrease of mesquite in their diet.Our Organic Raw Mesquite Powder comes from pods and seeds that are dried at low temperatures and then ground into a fine powder that blends easily with liquids, smoothies, or energy bars.
