Mesquite Beans- Mesquite beans are a powerhouse of nutrition, offering high levels of dietary fiber, protein, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. They are low-glycemic, meaning they provide steady energy without spiking blood sugar levels, making them ideal for those seeking a caffeine-free alternative. Mesquite also contains antioxidants that support overall health.
Mesquite beans are native to the Southwestern United States and Mexico, and Indigenous peoples, including Native Americans, historically used mesquite beans as a food source. While they were often ground into flour, mesquite beans were also steeped to create nourishing drinks for sustenance and energy.
