Smoke Flavor, Mesquite Powder

Mesquite Powder on a Corn Flour Base

Mesquite flavor is somewhat lighter and sweeter, and mesquite powder is not nearly as strong as hickory powder.

A shake of this jar adds a nice flavor to gravy, salad dressing, baked beans, snack crackers, trail mix, nuts, or barbeque sauce. Mesquite's delicate, sweet savoriness lends itself best to dark, rich meats such as lamb, goose, duck, and thick cuts of beef.

We are now using mesquite powder on a corn flour base rather than a barley malt base, so this product is gluten-free.

The smell of good bread baking, like the sound of lightly flowing water, is indescribable in it's evocation of innocence and delight.
