Open Air Market: Mesquite Harvesting Workshop

  • Sat, April 09, 2016
  • 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM
  • Phoenix Public Market | 721 n central ave | phoenix, az


about the class:

Mesquite tree bean pods from the three common species – honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa), screwbean mesquite (Prosopis pubescens) and velvet mesquite (Prosopis velutina) – are some of our desert’s greatest edible treasures. 

Join Valley Permaculture Alliance at the Phoenix Public Market to learn how to harvest ripe pods and store them until you are ready to mill or grind the beans. This is an onsite talk and demonstration, designed to teach you to harvest from the mesquite trees you might have in your yard or neighborhood. Come prepared to share your favorite Mesquite and native food recipes with the other participants, if you know a good one.

The workshop will be followed by a cooking demonstration by Chef Aaron Chamberlin.
