TIME TO HARVEST MESQUITE PODS FOR MILLING: The Community Food Bank and Desert Harvesters recommend that you harvest your mesquite pods now in preparation for the annual Community Mesquite Bean Millings in October and November. Mesquite beans can be milled into nutritious flour used in baking and cooking. It is high in protein and fiber and is valued for its natural sweetness. Five gallons of mesquite pods will grind into one pound of flour. It is recommended that you harvest the pods directly from the trees when the pods turn yellow or yellowish red and they are dry enough to snap. Taste the pods before harvesting to make sure they are sweet. Native varieties such as Velvet, Screwbeans and Honey mesquites tend to have more fruity flavor than non-native pods.
