Roasted carob is a natural powder made from the pods of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), grown in Algeria. The pods are dried, roasted, and ground into a fine powder with a rich caramel and chocolate-like aroma.

Carob is a natural 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.
