Description
The listing, Mesquite Tree Seeds has ended.
Mesquite can be grown as a bush or a tree. You can prune it into a lovely tree or allow it to twist into an unusual shape. The trees are drought resistant & beautiful. They have feathery leaves with unusual flowers. The trunks, branches, leaves and flowers are all very unique.
My Grandmother used to make us collect the seed pods so she could cook the seeds. We ate them as snacks. They are so wonderful to eat. Other things can be done with them too. They can be ground and used as flour if you are gluten intolerant.
Questions & Comments
My grandmother had us pick the pods. She soaked the mesquite beans in salt water for 15 to 30 minutes. Then she drained them and let them dry. She put them on a cookie sheet and toasted them for a few minutes in the oven. The seeds have the smoky mesquite flavor to them. So wonderfully delicious! Also the wood from pruned branches can be used as firewood in your bbq. grill. make wood chips to add the smoky flavor to your food.
