Terrasoul Superfoods Organic Mesquite Powder, 16 Oz, Baking Ingredient, Nutrient-Packed Smoothie Booster, BBQ Marinade Enhancer, Coffee Flavor Enhancer

I just received this and am enjoying making hot drinks out of it. Looking forward to trying it in recipes too.

Caution - this isn't a strong BBQ sauce enhancer. It's a sweetener with virtually no "classic" mesquite flavor. I'm sure it's fine for its intended use, but it isn't for BBQ. Part 2 - after this review, Terrasoul contacted me and offered to refund the purchase price. I told them no because it was my fault I ordered it without really understanding what the product was. However, they refunded me anyway. Obviously, a classy company who really cares about their reputation!

This is the first time that I have tried Mesquite powder. It is used in a cookbook (Alternative Baker) that I recently purchased..so I thought I would order some and give it a try. I looked at the different brands of Mesquite Powder/flour and the one recommended in the cookbook - but I chose Terrasoul Superfoods brand mainly based upon the extra level of care, quality and endorsements - but especially for the testing that they do. They test for yeast, molds, E. coli, salmonella and bacteria...and provided the test results of my lot # when I requested. So a great choice I feel! As for the flavor...I love it. I used it as a flavor enhancement to my regular gf flours - substituting 2 heaping tablespoons per cup of gf flour - rather than a full on replacement, which would be to strong. I made a gf oat flour and mesquite biscotti with hazelnuts, orange zest and dark cherries... AND a choc chip cookie with a gf flour blend and the mesquite powder with choc chips, and pistachios. BOTH test bakes turned out GREAT. The flavor is reminiscent of gingerbread in a way...a warm spice kind of flavor. So all in all I will continue to experiment with this powder and enjoy the results.

Having tried 5 different types of mesquite in the last few years, I think this mesquite has a mild, soft flavor while still tasting like mesquite. The powder is mostly fine-grain, though there were some clumps in my bag. I could easily smash them with a fork and never noticed any lumps after mixing all my other ingredients and liquids together. The only reason I didn't give this mesquite 5 stars in flavor is that I personally prefer mesquite that has a darker, deeper flavor, more toward the caramel-like end of the spectrum. If you want a basic, creamy, not-too-sweet, good tasting mesquite for not much money (comparatively to other organic mesquites), I say give this one a try!

this smells so good and taste great real powder use it in my sauce and rubs well worth it
