Discovering Mesquite: A Naturally Rich Ingredient Rooted in Tradition

MannaBrew is crafted exclusively from roasted mesquite seed pods (Prosopis glandulosa). While the mesquite tree is an invasive plant species in South Africa, its seed pods offer a naturally sweet, aromatic profile. At MannaBrew, our goal is to help manage these trees while fully utilizing the rich qualities their pods provide.

Traditionally harvested by indigenous communities for centuries, mesquite is now gaining appreciation in modern gastronomy. Here is why mesquite seed pods stand out as a versatile, responsibly sourced ingredient.


Naturally Rich in Dietary Fiber

Mesquite seed pod powder is naturally high in dietary fiber (containing 55.3 g of total dietary fiber per 100 g according to independent laboratory analysis). Fiber plays an important role in a balanced daily diet and contributes to normal digestion.


A Natural Source of Essential Minerals

Laboratory testing confirms that roasted mesquite pod powder contains valuable essential minerals:

  • Potassium (1540 mg / 100 g): Contributes to normal muscle function.

  • Calcium (411 mg / 100 g): Contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.

  • Magnesium (158 mg / 100 g): Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.

Naturally Sweet and Versatile

Mesquite has a naturally mellow, caramel-like flavor with subtle notes of cocoa and molasses. Its gentle sweetness allows MannaBrew to deliver a rich, full-bodied taste experience without the need for refined sugars or artificial additives.


Responsible and Community-Supportive

Mesquite trees thrive in arid environments with minimal water requirements. By harvesting mesquite seed pods, MannaBrew supports local ecosystem control in South Africa while supporting economic opportunities for rural harvesting communities.
