Screwbean Mesquite

"Prosopis pubescens, commonly known as Screwbean Mesquite, is a species of flowering shrub or small tree in the pea family, Fabaceae, that is native to the southwestern United States.
The Screwbean Mesquite has nutritious seedpods that can be eaten. Mesquite meal is a traditional Native American food. Used as a staple food for centuries by desert dwellers, this high protein meal contains good quantities of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc, and is rich in the amino acid lysine as well. Mesquite is high in fiber, moderate in sugar, and 8% protein. It has a sweet, rich, molasses-like flavor with a hint of caramel which blends well into smoothies or other drinks, especially those made with cacao and maca. The fruits may be used as a coffee substitute."

Light was not the best but I love the shape.
It's like Nature is making different pasta shapes. :)
Busy work day. My mind hasn't left work yet...
