Organic Carob Powder - A Caffeine-Free, Low-Fat Alternative to Chocolate and Cocoa
The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) is a tall tree native to the Mediterranean and the Middle East that produces a broad, almost spherical crown and long pods with a look, texture, and flavour similar to cocoa. Carob pods are extremely nutritious, containing high concentrations of antioxidants, minerals, and other nutrients, including calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, riboflavin, and niacin. Thanks to its natural sweetness, carob powder is often used as an alternative to sugar and cocoa, and has a mild, nutty flavour.
Once harvested, carob pods are crushed, sieved, and roasted to intensify their flavour and improve their shelf-life, before being processed into a fine powder. Unlike cocoa, carob powder is free of oxalates, which are compounds found in cocoa that can impede your body's ability to absorb calcium. This carob powder is made from Ceratonia trees grown in Italy.
Ingredients: Carob pods
Advisory information
Use carob powder as a natural, low-fat, and caffeine-free alternative to cocoa. It can also be used as an alternative sweetener in baked goods or other dishes.
This organic carob powder has a shelf-life of up to 18 months in its original sealed packaging. Once opened, store carob powder in a sealed container in a cool, dark, and dry place. Use within 12 months of opening, as carob will naturally lose its flavour and potency over time.
