La description

Mesquite, or Algarroba as it is known in South America, is a leguminous plant found in South America that was spread to arid zones around the world, including the southwestern U.S. Algarroba trees growing wild in desert areas of northern Peru are extremely well adapted to adverse weather and soil conditions. Origin: Native of the Northern of Peru. Disponibility: All year long. Used Parts: Pods. Properties: Organic Mesquite Powder comes from a beautiful, untouched forest region in Northern Peru. It has quickly become one of the most popular “functional foods” in the health food industry, due to its great taste and robust nutritional profile. Mesquite is of particularly great value to those looking to balance blood sugar levels. Mesquite flour flour offers a naturally sweet flavor to recipes, but its sugars are derived from fructose (which does not require insulin to digest and is readily metabolized). Additionally, the flour is an excellent form of fiber – meeting almost a quarter of daily needs in just two tablespoons – which not only improves digestion but further benefits sugar metabolism. Mesquite also contains lysine (an amino acid), as well as notable quantities of digestible protein, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc. As such a balanced food, it is easy to see why our Native American ancestors relied so heavily on mesquite as a staple form of delicious nourishment.
