| Mesquite Crush/Grind Peppermill and Salt Shaker set Peppermill is 5 1/2 inches and Salt Shaker is 4 1/2 inches tall Mesquite is a leguminous plant of the Prosopis genus found in northern Mexico through the Sonoran Desert and Chihuahuan Deserts, and up into the southwestern United States as far north as southern Kansas and as far east as the eastern fifth of Texas. Mesquite wood is hard, allowing it to be used for furniture and implements. The wood is used for decorative woodworking and woodturning. It is highly desirable due to its dimensional stability after being fully cured. The hard, dense lumber is also sold as "Texas Ironwood" and is rather harsh on saws, chain saws, and other tools. As firewood, mesquite burns slowly and very hot. When used to barbecue, the smoke from the wood adds a distinct flavor to the food. This is common in the Southwest and Texas-style barbecue.
