Carob is a natural powder made from the pods of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), grown in Spain. The pods undergo drying, roasting, and grinding into a fine powder with a naturally sweet taste and a rich caramel aroma.

Carob is an excellent alternative to cocoa, containing no caffeine or theobromine. It is low in fat and calories and rich in dietary fiber. It can be used in confectionery products, beverages, desserts, ice cream, and baked goods where a chocolate-like flavor is desired without the stimulating components of cocoa.
