ORGANIC CAROB POWDER, roasted

Organic Roasted Carob powder is a popular ingredient often used as a cocoa replacement in baking and beverages. This fine powder comes from the long legume pods of the carob plant, an evergreen shrub. The fruit takes a full year to ripen before being dried and roasted. Roasting the carob pod helps to reduce the naturally bitter flavour found in the raw powder, developing a sweeter, smoother profile.

Carob is a unique alternative to traditional cocoa powder for many consumers. Unlike cocoa, carob does not contain the stimulating compounds theobromine or caffeine. It is also naturally rich in both calcium and dietary fibre. This makes it an incredibly versatile powder, most commonly used in a wide array of baking recipes and confections where a chocolate-like flavour is desired without the stimulants. This roasted, stimulant-free powder offers a delicious, flavourful depth to your homemade treats.
