Mesquite meal can be used as either flour or a spice. As flour, it is generally combined with other flours, about 30% mesquite to 70% other flours. As a spice, sprinkle generously, then grill, fry, broil or add it to almost anything for a great mesquite flavor. Adjust the amount to your personal taste.
In addition to its great taste, the major benefits of mesquite meal include high dietary fiber content, high protein and a high lysine content. It's also a good source of potassium and zinc. The result is a food with the ability to stabilize your blood sugar level. This is very good news for diabetics, weight watchers and for those who just want to eat healthier. Anyone who uses a meal replacement drink and finds they are hungry long before lunch time, will find they love mesquite meal. Just add a tablespoon of mesquite meal to your drink. It will help you stave off hunger for about 4 to 6 hours.
