Do You Use Raw Mesquite Powder..?
Posted by: Bikini ()

...Other than dumping in various smoothies, how are you using Mesquite Powder in your raw kitchen..?

I'm very intrigued with the idea of starting to use Mesquite as an ingredient and would love to hear how you are using it, and what flavor it adds or brings out in your raw food.

Thanks!

I love mesquite! I use it in all sorts of things - chocolate, cakes, smoothies, etc. Sometimes I just eat it by the spoonful. I like to mash up a banana with some ground sesame seeds and add a little mesquite...

It's hard to describe, reasonably sweet, with lots of flavours coming through. Peisinoe, I'll send you a sample next time you order from Funky Raw if you remind me.

for some reason it always makes me think of BBQ... maybe it's because of the name but it's good

The mesquite meal arrived today!! Rob you are such a doll winking smiley

First I tried a spoonful and I immediately recognized the taste from some of shazzies bars. This is the stuff that leaves the aftertaste in my mouth. While I like the taste that comes out in the food, I need to brush my teeth after eating this because I can't stand the aftertaste. sad smiley

However!! I made a frozen banana-spinach-cacao-mesquite smoothie and it was divine!! I got the best organic bananas I have ever tasted, and the additional sweetness of the mesquite took it over the top! Man I get in such a good mood when I have a yummy breakfast.

I would definately consider buying this powder. I am going to try the rest of the samples in other things to see its sweetening qualities.

You are right though, the taste is hard to explain. It is sort of earthy though, isn't it?
