Mesquite Flour

[Heidi]

I absolutely love the flavor and nutritional profile of mesquite flour. I was able to get the Essential Living brand at Rainbow Foods. It is a fine grain flour (as opposed to pictures I've seen of other mesquite meal products that look less finely ground)

Where are you able to get it in other cities? What stores? And what are you doing/cooking/using it for?

My favorite Mesquite Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.

Hi Heidi, first of all I need to say that I just love your blog, congratulations. and second, can you find out the name of mesquite in Spanish? I will try to find where they sell it here in Madrid. it sounds like an interesting ingredient to discover!

I believe in Spanish mesquite flour is simply called MEZQUITE flour!

I contacted ELF and they suggested these two sites:


http://www.naturalzing.com/catalog/adva ... s=mesquite

and http://www.rawfood.com/

I'll probably buy it from naturalzing because it's $10 with $6 for shipping, a few dollars cheaper.

i wish I could find it locally, here in michigan.

Hello everyone,

I know these posts are from a long time ago, but if anyone is still looking for mesquite meal/flour, I found a website that sells mesquite meal in varying sizes for really good prices. The website is http://www.mesquitemagic.com/index.htm.

Hope it helps someone !

I wasn't able to pick up that website page directly, but did find Mesquite Magic's home page, which will take you to it.

If you buy mesquite meal (flour) in bulk, it'll be a bit cheaper.

this link doesn't work. what is this stuff, anyway? smoked wheat flour, or something else entirely?

Hey pikawicca -

Check out the explanatory site on mesquite meal from the link I left on the post just before your post. Think "milled bean pods".

Perhaps not surprisingly, I found mesquite flour (under the label "mesquite powder") in Portland, OR. My first guess at stores that would carry it was right on target--People's Co-Op on SE 20th between Division and Powell.

I made Heidi's cookies and they are in.cred.ible. The mesquite "powder" added an undeniable rich, earthy depth. The powder is very, VERY fragrant, and there was no need to sift it. I took my 1-year-old to the store with me to buy it, and she was definitely aware of the very rich, very distinctive aroma filling the car on the way home. That scent is still "with me" (in a good way!), though the flour and the cookies are long gone.

Minette - You've got me wanting to try mesquite flour, now. My local co-op carries it, but I've yet to buy any.... Might have to...

[duncankunz]

I'm surrounded by mesquite trees and am looking for a way to make flour from the beans. Doe anyone here have any information on how to do it?

I was so hoping the co-op here in San Diego carried it, but they don't. They acted like mesquite was anti-vegan. Whatever. I'll have to opt for mail order. But I am definitely trying these cookies!
