Not me! Live in Arizona and we have one growing in our front yard (its pods look about like the one you're holding second-from-the-left in the beginning of the video. I've even had cookies/biscuits made from mesquite flour! It tastes good but leaves quite a dryness in the mouth.
Awesome commercial plug man! Also don't eat mesquite uncooked is has something in it bad for you, but i forgotwhat it was, and intestinal irritant or something.
I KNOW RIGHT? I've been curious about their job for a couple years now, but just figured he was a journalist or something who wrote or talked about different fruits and vegetables
I grew up chewing Honey Mesquite pods in Central Texas. My aunt made a fine jelly from those seed pods. Thanks for reviving old pleasant memories. Love your videos.
I live I. Far west Texas and the honey mesquite that grows wild here is super sweet. I’m roasting my beans to make the most delicious coffee. You can also make poor mans honey or grind it into flour. All super tasty.
Trevor here. Glad you liked the Mesquite! I agree, screwbean is definitely the winner. I think the reason it's talked about less than honey/velvet is because the tree is less common (only riparian areas, super sparse in AZ) and the pods are less plentiful on the trees. Good vid man! Hopefully I find something else to send to you soon.
Your ads are so entertaining that there's no reason to skip them. They're genuine content, not boring promotions, or even worse, a stupidly long skit that has stretches too far so it can explain why the segway either was or wasn't too forced.
"tastes like a burnt bean" holy that whole scene was so amazing the faces you made while chewing like hmm in this actually good. I am laughing my ass off right now. Thanks for the lol's
I must be honest... I normally skip passed people's promotions because it's just boring and sometimes too long... The way you did yours was just 💯 on point... And content as usual always worth watching!
the first one my mom used when she lived in arizona at humbug creek she made flour from the beans even a jam from it when done she told me it tasted like apple mixxed with a little coconut flavor and the honey made form the blossoms is highly medicinal and tastes sweeter and not bitter like clover honey this is truly my first lifelong dream for the first greenhouse i wanted to grow ever since i was very little, thank you for posting this one day i hope to follow my moms notes and try this myself and did what she created from them she also cultivated ones in around the sonoran desert area oh thank you again this has brought back many happy memories for me.
You should try acorn coffee. is that close enough to a fruit? Probably many nuts can be roasted and ground up at least to add some flavour, eg hazel nuts. I made some by grinding up fresh white oak acorns in a blender then roasting. tasted somewhere between coffee and tea.
Sounds good! did it have any of the tanin flavor after roasting? I made some acorn brittle in an earlier episode, it took a while to get that flavor out of them first
@@WeirdExplorer Some varieties of acorn can be roasted and eaten like a chestnut. Really nice - no preparation before roasting. It tends to be very select oaks, not all of a particular species will be edible. In Spain they go round tasting the holm oak acorns and planting the sweetest.
@@WeirdExplorer there was some in there even though I did soak them before roasting to leech out most of the tannins, but yup that's probably why acorn coffee was something like tea
Great video! Glad to see the Southwest return. You were spot on with your assumption that mesquite atole was (and is) a popular drink, though what you ended up with was more like a light syrup (mesquite soda?). Pound the beans to flour and sift out the seeds, then add enough water to make a thin porridge and that's an authentic desert meal! We've all found out the hard way that Chilean mesquite is no good to eat, but it's used extensively as a landscaping tree so it's many people's introduction to the pods. Keep it up!!
I remember a while back you did a taste test with your performance group and while I would never miss one of your videos, I really enjoyed that one. I think it is oddly refreshing and comforting when a host as intelligent and popular as you lets your audience have a glimpse of your personal and vocational life while still reserving your privacy and you great sense of mystery. Thank You! I wish good health, happiness and all the best to you and yours!
While dealing with intense boredom on an oil rig in NM I decided to try some mesquite beans. Sorta looked like the last pod you tried and was really bad. Only slightly astringent, but like unwholesome dirt with an old raisin aftertaste. Tried several (intense boredom, remember) and they were the same. Must have been a less diverse area.
Wow, I wouldn't have remembered that finger ball toy if you didn't reference it, but I definitely had one of those! I can almost feel the weird rubberiness.
I'm late to the party but I'll comment anyways: I am currently researching an extinct language that the natives from the northeastern region of Mexico spoke, during my research on some stuff related to their gastronomy, I read that they really enjoyed making bread (e.g. date bread, prickly pear bread, etc.), mesquite bread is one of those, I haven't found an ancient recipe yet but I'll keep on looking for one; seeing a video centered on mesquite is quite a sight to see, hopefully you keep on trying these common yet pretty ignored things!
I'm late as well. But I believe you're referring to the Coahuiltecan language. I'm from the Tap Pilām band in San Antonio, mesquite is still a big part of our diet to this day
I like those screwbeans mesquite because there are 3 trees of them right here. Tornillo. I've never cooked them because nobody told me how. One way i imagine is to toast them, grind them and make atole. The deer eat the flowers especially. Tornillo. Screwbean mesquite.
I live in Arizona and have the luxury of sampling the mesquite beans at the various stages of maturity, when fresh off the tree before they have hardened at all, they have a pea/fresh bean taste with a hint of sweetness.
I live here in phoenix Arizona in the Sonoran desert. Mesquite trees are everywhere. In the spring when they flower, it is very fragrant. My favorite time of the year. Mesquite pods are a legume. Eat them when young not dried
I had no idea that mesquite wood is used for barbeque. On the other hand I had heard about using mesquite as food, if I remember correctly it was making some kind honey substitute with it and suger.
I grew up eating screw bean mesquite pods here in Southern Utah. They grow all over the area along with honey mesquite. There are certain stages of ripeness where they are extremely sweet, like almost candy sweet and really delicious. I have found the hotter the temperatures we get, the sweeter and better the seeds taste for some reason. When we get huge monsoons and have a milder summer they aren’t as good. I used to sit and eat these for hours as a kid, and they also make REALLY good pancakes.
Mesquite beans are awesome. I grew up in the middle of nowhere AZ and as a kid, chewed on them all the time. I never bothered with them when dry though. When they are fresh and reddish, like the honey one you tried first, they are great. They taste like watermelon with a chlorophyll hint.
Southern US mesquite you have to get fresh and ripe. Yours looked pretty dry. I get the corn and pea flavor, but you should also be getting a sweet flavor from the pulp, which is grainy and like spreadable butter in consistency and I swear has a honey butter flavor (probably closer to a super sweet corn, but my brain can't help making the comparison). I never ate the seeds on expedition. I would find a nice tree to rest under, grab a few pods, split them open, and scoop out the buttery pulp with my teeth, discarding the seeds as a reward for the tree's hard work. Delicious.
Lol those harvest pea snaps are one of my favorite snacks ever. Amazon inflates all their grocery prices. You can buy then at Walmart for $2.50 they also sell them at gas stations
In my grocery stores they're always in the fresh veggies section intended to be salad toppings, I eat them like chips. I like to dip them into my hummus.
There is one of these trees on the corner of my street and once a year a flock of parrots fly by and eat all of them at once. Its a cool event for me to look forward to every year.
Thank you for the information. I do love those tornillos. It is because i am lazy that now they are deer food. The three trees are looking pretty good.
That was BY FAR the best paid endorsement that I have ever seen on UA-cam and I have seen so.. soo many lol 10/10 would watch again, I hope that you get paid for your creativity! :D
Vostok has been an occasional guest star for some years now. I highly recommend checking out ep 200, where he tries ice-cream bean, and the cat in question absolutely does not have any parties the second he's left alone lol
@@benny_lemon5123 Yes, I'm aware he's filmed his cats sometimes, but until now he hasn't made a habit of giving them their own "bits". I vote for more! =D
Hey, this is from my neck of the woods! Mesquite is everywhere in Arizona, but you don't necessarily associate it with "the woods." It's more a desert than the woods, so instead of growing among oak and maple, you find mesquite among saguaro and prickly pear, and other desert flora.
Ok… you definitely need to incorporate your contortionist moves into EVERY ad read! It’s such a super unique and fascinating skill -that at no point did I ever think of hitting the “skip ahead” button!😱👍
I grew up in Texas, and we were always taught that mesquite travelled north due to the cattle industry since the mesquite seeds survive the bovine intestinal tract (cattle drives to ft worth and kansas city spreading the mesquite).
I LOOOVE atole of all stripes! That said, my mom grew up in AZ during the depression, and she remembered her aunties making a kind of lemonade from mesquite pods. I've always wanted to try. Thank you for your video; based on your observations, I'll probably start with the screwbean mesquite pods.
I've been binge watching a bunch of tv series during covid that I missed out on and not watching much UA-cam. Now catching up on my fav yt channels. Looking forward to watching your milk and coffee series.
your channel has kept me so entertained during quarantine! thank you so much fruit guy. if you ever get the chance, maybe try out the cosmic crisp apple. it’s supposed to have up to a year of shelf-life when kept in a fridge, which I think is pretty awesome.
as a person that was born and raised in Arizona and still currently live here, I never would have guessed these were edible. I have so many trees in my back yard with these on them. thanks for the info man. ill definitely try some recipes.
I just moved into a house with a nice big mesquite tree dominating the back yard, though I've not identified the species yet. Looking forward to see it yield more than vicious spines that go right through shoe soles.
They are very good if u pick them young put them in a pot with ham or a ham hock they taste like snap beans which is pinto beans that are young. Very very tasty
I have a tip for you: try making a cold drink called "Kompot" from dried sour cherries that you simmer with water and then cool. Add ice if you want. No need for sugar, it's more like a refreshing natural lemonade.
Debes de probar el sirope de Algarrobina, elaborado con las vainas del Algarrobo, Prosopis pallida, el "Mesquite" que tenemos en Perú. Se usa para endulzar postres y para la preparación de un cóctel con Pisco, el destilado típico. También se consume tostado como "café" y como harina a la que se da distintos usos. El nombre viene de una especie similar de la zona mediterránea, si no me equivoco se trata de la vaina conocida como Carob. Otro proyecto, si vas a España.
Very neat you're a contortionist. Good ol desert is actually packed with wild foods. Come see sometime. In the almost-springtime you can roast the beans of Ironwood and Palo Verde trees. Mesquite most often just snapped open and gnawed while playing, hiking. Tasty.
Over here in Canada we have these little black pods that grow on little shrubs. don’t know what they’re called but it might be something for you to check that out.
I live where it grows a lot, I too only thought it was just for wood. I'm thinking that maybe it's traditional use was like pinole. I haven't had it much, pinole is toasted cornmeal with like added sugar. I guess you would use like coffee bar cinnamon topping.
Woah, had no idea that was your profession. Not even a slight inkling you were that flexible, how cool! Also love the way you integrate it into a commercial, almost felt like one of those funny insurance commercials where crazy things go on in the background as the agent is casually strolling through
Who else is surprised that mesquite isn't just a wood for barbequing?
Not me! Live in Arizona and we have one growing in our front yard (its pods look about like the one you're holding second-from-the-left in the beginning of the video.
I've even had cookies/biscuits made from mesquite flour! It tastes good but leaves quite a dryness in the mouth.
I was surprised to hear this, but not surprised to learn it on your channel.
Being a hick from the woods I'm just happy to see city people discover that food is everywhere
Awesome commercial plug man!
Also don't eat mesquite uncooked is has something in it bad for you, but i forgotwhat it was, and intestinal irritant or something.
I am surprised, I know mesquite bbq and mosquitos! :xD
I would have never have guessed you’re a contortionist! What a surprise you’re even cooler than I already thought you were :)
I KNOW RIGHT? I've been curious about their job for a couple years now, but just figured he was a journalist or something who wrote or talked about different fruits and vegetables
Gotta watch all the episodes ,he talks about it in earlier videos
I found that out from his Twitter recently
He's also a fire eater lol
Account didn’t he also mention something about swords?

I hear a lot about screwbean, less about honey, and almost not much of the velvet from my sources.
I've never enjoyed an ad so much.
I live in AZ and I never knew you could eat these! When I was younger I'd play with the bean pods as little makeshift maracas.
They make great slingshot ammo too.🤣
Aww! “Little makeshift mascaras” is the cutest possible application of these I can think of. I love it!
You might not have known because landscapers tend to plant argentine and chilean (or a hybrid) mesquites which have pods that don't taste good.
Theyre great in pancakes
Your ads are so entertaining that there's no reason to skip them. They're genuine content, not boring promotions, or even worse, a stupidly long skit that has stretches too far so it can explain why the segway either was or wasn't too forced.
This can also be ground into a flour and was traditionally used to make mini-pancakes in Mexico using a metate y mano.
"tastes like a burnt bean" holy that whole scene was so amazing the faces you made while chewing like hmm in this actually good. I am laughing my ass off right now. Thanks for the lol's
Speaking of mesquite, it's nectar and honey are also amazing! It has a strong and unique flavor.
I must be honest... I normally skip passed people's promotions because it's just boring and sometimes too long... The way you did yours was just 💯 on point... And content as usual always worth watching!
As I’m watching this I’m like hey I remember the strange couch and dark wall. This guy is always interesting. Lol
The property that I live on is covered with mesquite trees. The beans are super sweet. Mesquite is great for BBQ too. Perfect for smoked foods.
I was staring at that honey mesquite pod for nearly 20 minutes, wondering why it looked so familiar, before I realized I recognize it from Fallout NV.
Best fallout

Yes please! We have a lot of oak around here (and the deer that love them) so it would be a good survival food!
Acorn coffee was used a lot in World War II in Europe because real coffee wasn't available.

Mesquite is actually an incredibly versatile fruit. You can make a jam, among many many other ways. It is a survivalist blessing.
Also. Honey mesquite and screwbean are very different!
Yeah! Now I want to make mesquite muffins using mesquite wood, spread mesquite jam on it and wash it down with a cup of mesquite coffee.

I live in Arizona, and as a child I would eat the mesquite beans fresh and green off the tree. I might try out these recipes. Thanks.
I loved eating mesquite visiting family in Mexico, I would suggest trying them when they are not dried and has some meat on them still

I live where it grows a lot, I too only thought it was just for wood. I'm thinking that maybe it's traditional use was like pinole. I haven't had it much, pinole is toasted cornmeal with like added sugar. I guess you would use like coffee bar cinnamon topping.

Lived in Arizona all my life, never knew you could eat those, just thought they were inedible.
Congrats on the sponsorship. Hitting the big time.
