Mesquite is great for barbeque and to add as a nice spice to healthy cooking. It’s also great for sore throats … here are some pictures of this great shrub/tree and some botanical marker sign stats on the plant ….
| Mesquite Prosopis Glandulosa Washune has had many uses for New Mexico’s native people and early settlers. Its branches provided shelter, fuel, and food. The bean pods were delicacies and the seeds were cooked or dried and ground into meal. A good honey was made from the nectar of its flowers. From the root fibers beautiful baskets were made. Its gum served as a glue, dye on pottery, and as a medication for sore throats. The foliage provides browse for livestock and wildlife. ~ (biological marker at Bottomless Lakes State Park) |
