The seeds are eatable also
Coffee and tea were scarce during the Civil War, so Texans used roasted mesquite beans along with other readily available ingredients, such as acorns or corn, to make coffee substitute. Mesquite leaves were boiled for tea. Native Americans of the Southwestern U.S. made a drink called atole from the ground beans and water. This drink was sometimes fermented to a mildly intoxicating level. Spanish explorer Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca recorded in his journal that the local natives of what is now called the Texas Gulf Coast, pounded mesquite bean pods in a dirt hole into a mush, mixing them with water and dirt.


Mesquite beans, including the seeds, may be dry roasted and ground into high-protein, gluten-free flour. The flour is used making baked goods including cookies, muffins and cornbread. Tortillas and pancakes are made with mesquite flour. Mesquite flour may be added to any recipe including flour by replacing some of the flour called for with mesquite flour. The meal may be used in gravies or casseroles. Mesquite meal and flour have a strong flavor. Experiment with recipes to find those that please you.

Hi Yes they should, here is some info for you to consider,
Mesquites grow in three stages: seedling, from germination until leaf production; juvenile, from initial leaf production until mature tissue production; and mature, when woody xylem, foliage, flowers and seeds are produced. Seeds germinate best at temperatures from 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit under a very thin layer of soil. New seedlings require temperatures of 77 to 90 F to thrive. The juvenile stage lasts for up to three years, in which mesquites can grow up to 6 feet tall

Yea the wood is Great with BBQ's, I like to let it Dry completely out for about a year and then soak it it for a few hours then let it sit out the day before I use it in the BBQ, that way it is moist and it gives a Really Good Flavor 8=)
