Washing, sanitizing and drying the mesquite beans harvested after 2008 harvest. The beans were harvested from the ground and then selected for insect infestation. After drying the beans are cooled and packed in double plastic bags and protected additionally by wraping said bags with shrink plastic with as many turns as necessary to keep the sharp end of the beans from perforating the packaging material. The scientific name of the beans is Prosopis glandulosa . The flour or meal is used to combine in established recipes for breads, cookies, etc giving the standard products the flavor of the beans and so the western touch. Additionally the bean's flour sugar composition is beneficial to those suffering from diabetes.
