Mesquite flour is the milled pod of the velvet mesquite tree, sweet and naturally gluten-friendly, used in Sonoran breads, bars and modern Tucson baking.
Mesquite pods are a Tohono O'odham heritage food, harvested June and July from velvet mesquite (Prosopis velutina) trees that line the Tucson Basin. The dried pods are milled in stone metates traditionally; today Native Seeds/SEARCH and Mission Garden offer milling services seasonally. The flour is naturally sweet (high in fructose and sucrose), gluten-free, and pairs well with white Sonora wheat. Don Guerra of Barrio Bread uses mesquite flour in seasonal loaves, and Mission Garden's annual mesquite milling day in late June draws Tohono O'odham elders and Tucson home bakers.
