Mesquite Powder... have done a few searches and although lots there, would like something specific. I believe that Tamarind Powder plays some part, the rest don't know. Peter Watson

Mesquite Powder?
I just analyzed Mesquite powder for Salmonella a few weeks ago. It it
a floury dry tan colored powder that looks like its for baking. It was from Mexico, so I think you should be able to find it at Mexican shops. It shows no resemblence to Tamarind whatsoever and I don't think it is interchangeable. It was negative for contamination by the way.

I got a bag of beans and a recipe for Mesquite jelly which I will share when I get some sleep. We just got home from a long road trip. Lots of desert critters eat the bean pods. They really do taste sweet, about like carob with a milder flavor. I think the beans are usuable somehow, but not as sweet as the pods. Edrena

Edrena I've seen horses, goats and sheep eat the pods, beans and all and heard stories of travelers in south Texas eating the beans because they were desperate for food. (Guess they never heard of nopales (prickly pear pads)). George
