What it is

Mesquite powder is made from the dried and ground pods of the mesquite tree, which is native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. The pods are typically harvested, dried, and then milled into a fine powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use mesquite powder primarily as a flavoring agent, adding a unique smoky, sweet, and slightly earthy taste to foods. It is often found in seasoning mixes, marinades, barbecue sauces, and baked goods.

Health notes

Mesquite powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of fiber and some minerals. While it has been used traditionally for various purposes, there is limited peer-reviewed research on its specific health effects at typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated mesquite powder.

Allergen info

Mesquite powder is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
