Yes, supposedly, you can grind those mesquite beans into flour. We tried it and it is such a pain that we decided to leave them for the bunnies, the squirrels, and the quail. Watching the wildlife is much more fun!
Here in drylaands Brazil we like to eat "cuz-cuz" of ground corn When mesquite ("algaroba" )is in season, we grind it in the mill we use to make animal feed, sift it, and use 1/3 mesquite to 2/3 corn ( in a steamer). It is very good if combined with layers of banana, as mesquite is quite sweet! IT is used as a soft drink in Chile.....PS- if not dried to a crisp in the sun, they don´t grind well...
CZcams algorithms have sent you to me, thankfully, and am enjoying your channel and when I learned you are Christians, I’m sold on your adventures! Thanks for sharing!🙏
I thought the Palo Verde (green bark and branches) were poisonous. Not supposed to use their wood to cook with. Just wanted to put that out for further research.

@@nitaihammari6994 AS far as I know, it isonly the green seeds that are edible....
Velvet with spotted pods, Western honey, honey (from the east (someplace :) ), and screw bean. South of the border is Julian, a shrub with bitter pods. Plant mesquite in the garden like the old-times (American Indian). It's great to prevent erosion, for shade, and nitrogen. We used to pick a lot of chiltepin from under mesquite. Retainer dams, yo! We used to have to repair them in pastures on the range. The old woman said most were from the pre-columbian era. If you see a patch of agave along a dry creek bed and the remains of a wall, that's likely one.
In Rainwater Harvesting by Brad Lancaster he shows examples of people using these techniques all over the world. It’s pretty amazing what can be accomplished with some good design and smart earthworks.

We’re lucky to have some local mills that handle that for us but we still leave some for the critters because we love seeing them too.
So excited for the future projects!!

Brilliant discussion and tutorial on boomeranging the existing Mesquite on your homestead. Digging and pruning. Making a miracle. Thumbs up!
WOW Very well thought out !

Thamk you. That was lovely.
Electric coffee grinder works well
Worth watching just to follow Jag's beard evolution! Good luck on your journey.
I’ve grown it wild and long before but I keep it trimmed now for bow practice and hunting season so I don’t pull it to much when shooting my bow
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing. Onward!
Thanks for watching!
I did not know the pod shells were edible! Such great info.
They are a pretty sweet treat when hiking down by the river
Those rocks you raked to make a gully are actually really good mulch!
The rocks will be our backup if there’s not enough wood mulch. Thanks
Enjoyed the video 😊
Thank you 😁
Love and blessings ×++!!!
Thank you
It is great to see your vlogs again!
More to come!

We’re planning on planting some Palo Verde but I hadn’t heard about the ironwood’s. I’ll check them out. Thanks

Mix mesquite bean flour with cornmeal for cornbread. I mix blue corn meal with mesquite meal. Mmmm
Blue corn mixed with mesquite sounds delicious. We’ll try that
Welcome Home, glad you had a great time. We have desert Cottontail bunnies in our backyard, they LOVE eating mesquite leaves.
We haven’t seen many bunnies around us but plenty of quail

Hi. More more. 😂❤
Just came across your video. Had to stop because it looks like las Cruces NM area and lived there for a long time.
We just moved from Las Cruces to AZ.
Boomerang berms are used in parts of Africa.

The mequite are shrubs due to the frost
