Mesquite Powder – Nutrient-Rich Sweet Superfood

Mesquite powder, made from the naturally sweet pods of the Prosopis tree, is a mineral-rich, low-GI superfood known for its warm, caramel-like flavour and excellent nutritional profile. Traditionally used by Indigenous communities as both food and medicine, mesquite powder is high in dietary fibre, protein, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc, making it a wholesome addition to smoothies, baking, and warm drinks.
