About Carob flour
Carob comes from the long, leathery seed pods of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), a hardy Mediterranean evergreen also known as St. John's bread. The ripe pods are dried and ground into a naturally sweet, cocoa-colored powder with a mild, toasty, slightly malty flavor that makes it a popular caffeine-free and chocolate-free alternative to cocoa. Carob is naturally sweet and low in fat, supplying fiber, calcium, and antioxidants while containing no caffeine or theobromine.
The powder is used in baking, smoothies, energy bars, and hot drinks, and carob chips stand in for chocolate chips, while the pods themselves can be chewed as a snack. Carob syrup is a traditional sweetener in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern kitchens. Store carob powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, where it keeps well for a long time.
