Carob: The Naturally Sweet and Nutritious Mediterranean Superfood

Are you seeking a healthy alternative to chocolate that’s naturally sweet and packed with nutrients? Look no further than carob, a pod-like fruit from the carob tree native to the Mediterranean region. This versatile ingredient has been enjoyed for centuries for its unique flavor and potential health benefits.

What is Carob?

Carob pods are long, brown, and leathery. When dried and roasted, they have a sweet, chocolate-like flavour. Carob powder, made from grinding the roasted pods, is often used as a natural sweetener and substitute for cocoa powder in desserts and baked goods.
