What it is

Organic mesquite powder is made from the dried pods of the mesquite tree, which is native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. The pods are ground into a fine powder, retaining their natural sugars and fiber.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add mesquite powder for its naturally sweet, slightly smoky, caramel-like flavor. It's often used as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in baked goods, energy bars, smoothies, and beverages.

Health notes

In the US, mesquite powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of fiber and some minerals. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various food ingredients, but specific evaluations for mesquite powder's safety at typical dietary levels are not widely published. Evidence on its health benefits is ongoing, with some studies suggesting potential antioxidant properties.

Allergen info

Mesquite powder is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is naturally gluten-free.
