Description
Superfoodies’ Organic Raw Mesquite Powder comes from the seedpod of a leguminous plant native to Peru’s Northern forests. Once harvested by local communities, the seeds are sun dried to produce a sweet nutty tasting powder, ideal for use as a low-GI alternative to sugar for use in baking, raw treats or smoothies. Historically a dietary staple of the Native Americans, mesquite cakes were treasured for their sustained slow-release energy. We now know that its rich content of soluble fibres and protein, particularly Lysine, make this a great addition to a healthy diet.
Lysine is crucial for tissue regeneration and muscle repair. For this reason, mesquite can be applied as a post-workout sports recovery supplement for athletes, or used to slow down muscle wastage that develops naturally with age. Lysine has also been show to improve the absorption of calcium, helping to maintain a strong skeletal system.
