Tree commonly known as Carob of the Fabaceae family, or its fruit carob – not to be confused with the African locust bean. It is widely cultivated for its edible fruits, and as an ornamental tree in gardens. The ripe fruit (dried pod) is often ground into carob powder which is used as a substitute for cocoa powder.

It is native to the Mediterranean region, including southern Europe, North Africa, the large islands of the Mediterranean; to the Levant and Central-East of western Asia in Iran.

You can find both Raw and Roasted Organic Carob in our range of gluten-free products. When roasted, carob is less bitter in flavour and therefore more popular as a sweetener in food use. Usually roasted carob is chosen for the taste and raw one for health benefits as it is higher in mineral and vitamin content (contains also vitamin D and folic acid). In order to choose the right kind for you, we suggest you to compare the nutritional value of both products.
