mesquite flour trial

Found a small coffee bean grinder for 2 bucks at our local Goodwill and thought I would grind a few mesquite pods. They still held moisture so I didnt grind more than a handful. I also didnt sift them because it would have clogged my sifter screen. I have included a photo to show the results. You can see the husks. This stuff is really sweet. It definately has a taste of its own but I can already see endless possiblities with it. I will post more as I experiment more with it.

It is coarse here and clumpy because it is still moist.


Several hours later it felt dry so I ran it thru the grinder again then used the strainer to remove the tusks. I need a finer screen but here you get an idea. It is more of a flour meal. Very sweet and has a smokey nutty smell.


My $2.00 coffee grinder I found at Goodwill today. I love finding good but cheap stuff at thrift stores. I bagged the lil bit of mesquite flour I messed with.

That's it for now. Gotta check on the cake Im baking. Until next time, see you in the backroads.
