It Be Humpday...It Be Triviola

A tree prized for its furniture wood today was prized for other assets in the past and provided such bi-products as medicine and a very nutricious flour meal. What tree is it?

You Googleheads mind the box!

You People Make Me Sick! The Answer

That's right...mark my words, some day I'll come up with a trivia question that will take weeks for you people to solve!! (Insert maniacal laugh here)

The answer is Mesquite. Native Americans derived several medicines from the roots and the pods, when dried and ground, were nutricious sources of flour.

Chestnut. Would this be a two answer trivia question?

Actually chestnut does make a nutricious flour. I'm not sure about medicinal values but you may be right there Bob.

Thanks!
