Sensitive to caffeine or looking to skip cocoa but still crave that
rich taste?
Replace it with our roasted carob powder in
organic quality. Unlike the raw carob, the roasted version
is darker and has a more intense taste with a
bitter tinge. That's why it's the perfect cocoa substitute for baking and
delicious drinks.
The great thing about carob is that it’s naturally free from
caffeine and its close cousin, theobromine. Therefore,
it is also suitable for children and people with a higher sensitivity to
caffeine. It has a low glycemic index and is a source of
minerals, vitamins and
antioxidants.
It contains a high proportion of fibre, which has a
beneficial effect on the condition of the digestive tract, promotes body
cleansing and increases satiety, thus helping to maintain the ideal
figure.
Use roasted carob wherever cocoa comes in handy. You can
flavour and colour batters, puddings, ice creams, porridges and drinks with it.
Just swap cocoa powder for the same amount of carob powder.

Carob or locust bean
Carob, also known as St. John's bread, is
the fruit of carob (Ceratonia siliqua). A mighty
hardy tree that can grow for several centuries, it is native to the eastern
Mediterranean. Its long, dark pods were used by the ancient Greeks and
Egyptians.
The pods are ground into a fine powder, making a great
alternative to cocoa or even flour. Immediately after harvesting, the inner
parts and kernels are removed from the carob pods, the remaining parts are then
ground into a fine powder using a very gentle
process.
The name carob refers to the legend of St. John the Baptist who fed on carob
fruits during his stay in the desert.
Method of use
It serves as a alternative to cocoa when baking cakes,
muffins, cookies or pastries. It’s also perfect for puddings, smoothies, or
ice cream. By mixing it with warm milk, you’ll create a delicious drink. Just
swap cocoa powder for the same amount of carob powder.
