Zocalo Organic Mesquite Flour for Baking, 16 oz., Natural Gluten Free and Wheat Alternative, Low Carb and Protein Rich for Baked Goods, Pastries, and Batters

Just made my first low-carb fruitcake cookie recipe using this flour. I have used mesquite flour before and it brings a spiced, "smoky" taste to fruit cakes and fruit cookies. This product from Peru tasted pretty much as I expected, but the "smoky" flavor is a bit more intense (using 4 Tbsp. per recipe) than what I've used before. Not necessarily a bad thing, and was not at all unpleasant in my regular Christmas cookie recipe, so I'm pleased it will serve my needs in future baking. I may just use a little less of it in the recipe in future. The company I used to buy this from has gone out of business and I cannot find it locally, so I will use this product again when I run out.

I bought this to make the mesquite chocolate chip cookies from 101 Cookbooks, and it's spectacular. Added a whole new depth of flavor to the cookies, and I'm excited to see what else I can use it for. Super recommended.

I intend to make a sweet pastry with it.

Delicious Chocolate Chip CookiesI made a recipe from David Lebovitz using this flour--delicious!The cookies are really tasty--the mesquite adds a very interesting cinnamon flavor, but with something else in there that is unique and very yummy. I will definitely be using this again.

The mesquite flour when added to a pancake batter, gives the pancakes a sweet flavor such that you almost never need syrup. It gives pancakes character, with an explosion of flavor unlike any other. Highly recommended.

The flour is soft. Smells just a little like caramel. Did not notice much of a difference on flavor in my Choco chip cookies.

It’s got a nice warm smell and sort of chocolate flavor. I made some wings with it as a coating and it tasted good. I added it to cacao to make brownies and it tasted great.

Was looking for alternatives to gluten. Discovered Mesquite flour/powder has no gluten and also has a lower glycemic index. Substitutes about 30 % with my flax meal/chia blend mug bread recipe. Like the slightly sweet caramel/nutty taste.
