Scheda tecnica

Small tree from arid areas in N. Chile, S. Peru and N. Argentina, with feathery "Mimosa leaves". The beans are used in a way similar to carobs, to make a sweet flour that can be added to desserts, pastries, soups and even ice-cream. Just like for carobs, the dried pods can be eaten raw as a snack. Prosopis chilensis is a fast growing, nitrogen-fixing tree. This Prosopis is extremely hardy to drought and wind and can also take short frosts. Here we offer here one of the larger fruited forms, from the Atacama desert in Chile.
