What else is useful for mesquite?
Mesquite stabilizes blood sugar levels. The natural sweetness of mesquite comes from fructose, which does not require insulin for metabolism
Corresponding to the glycemic index of 25, the mesquite is digested more slowly than, for example, many grains, preventing sharp jumps of sugar in the blood, which makes it especially attractive for people suffering from diabetes, as well as a tasty and satisfying food for everyone.
Digestion of the crushed fruits takes place for 4 to 6 hours, in contrast to wheat products, which require 1 to 2 hours.
Ground mesquite is also a rich source of fiber - two teaspoons contain 25% of the recommended daily allowance.
Mesquite extract has found many applications in medicine, as it helps with sore throat and bone fracture.
