Magical Mesquite
Delicious taste with an aroma that you can smell through the compostable brown kraft bag. Had me feeling stress-free the whole day. Plus it's loaded with minerals: calcium, magnesium, copper, and iron.

Description
A local superfood, wild-harvested in Limpopo. Mesquite pods — "white carob" — were among the earliest known foods of prehistoric peoples; ours are dried at low temperature and ground whole into a naturally sweet, caramel-toned powder.
It's a wonderful low-GI way to sweeten with more character: rich in fibre and plant protein (including L-lysine), plus calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc. Stir into smoothies, breakfast oats, snack bars or cookies wherever you'd otherwise reach for sugar.
Ingredients: 100% wildcrafted mesquite powder.

Suggested Use
Mesquite has a sweet, slightly caramel flavour. It can be used as a natural and nutritious low GI sweetener in smoothies, added to breakfast oats or muesli, snack bars or cookies.
Why it belongs in the bazaar
Harvested in Limpopo, mesquite is ground from low-temperature-dried seedpods into a naturally sweet, low-GI powder. It's leaned on for blood sugar support and rich in protein with L-lysine, plus calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, and zinc. Sweeten smoothies, desserts, and baking without the crash. One of the oldest foods of the new world, still earning its keep.
