Mesquite? Yes lovers. Get to know. Get to love it!
- Highly effective in balancing blood sugar- making it an awesome thing to use in sweeter treats and smoothies. The form of fructose, which does not require insulin for metabolism.

- Its got this carmelly molasses flavour that is awesome in cookies.
