Screwbean Mesquite

I recently found out that Screwbean Mesquite is ground into meal and flour and used in baking. As a kid we would chew on Mesquite Beans, but we never messed with these.

  • How was it? I've been ordering mesquite flour online because we don't have any species of them where I live lol.

    • I was unable to do anything with the Screwbeans this year because we got a large rain storm early in the season. And with Mesquite you are supposed to harvest before the beans get soaked because of a fungus.

      My sister gave me a small bag of Mesquite flour, but it is barely enough to do anything with it. But I always enjoyed chewing the beans as a kid.
