Mesquite Flour Wild-Harvested | Regenerative Organic Certified® | Extremely Limited
Discover the authentic taste of the Sonoran Desert in Oatman Farms Mesquite Flour.
Each June and July we sustainably harvest mesquite pods from wild trees growing on our regenerative farm. Two native varietals, Honey Mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) and Velvet Mesquite (Neltuma velutina), are milled together to create a flour that reflects the diversity of the desert itself. These ancient trees have nourished the Southwest for thousands of years. Indigenous peoples once gathered millions of pounds annually, sustaining life in an arid landscape. We follow their lead, harvesting respectfully and taking only what the trees freely offer while leaving ample pods for wildlife and natural regeneration. Learn more about mesquite's rich cultural history.
The Process We wash and sun dry our mesquite pods, then hammer-mill them to break through the hard yet flavorful outer shell while keeping all the magic of the the inner beans, to make this unique and distinctive flour. When we mill, the aroma fills the air with notes of honey and caramel, while the flour retains its distinctive desert character.
The Flavor Imagine honey nut cereal meets desert wildflower sweetness. Expect notes of citrus, cinnamon, and even chocolate with warm, earthy undertones. Honey Mesquite leans sweeter and more caramel-forward. Velvet Mesquite brings deeper, almost malt-like complexity. The aroma is intoxicating, so sweet that bees swarm when we mill.
