Collection: Organic Carob Powder

The carob comes from the pod of the carob tree, technically making it a legume rather than a fruit or bean. It offers a distinctive sweet and earthy flavor often used as a chocolate substitute. Unlike cocoa, carob is naturally sweet and caffeine-free, making it a popular choice in health-conscious diets. Originating from the Mediterranean, carob has been consumed for thousands of years, yet it remains less familiar to many in the Western world compared to traditional chocolate.

Key Benefits:

• Naturally Sweet: Carob provides sweetness without added sugars, reducing the overall sugar content in recipes.
• Caffeine-Free: A great alternative for those sensitive to caffeine, unlike cocoa which contains both caffeine and theobromine.
• Rich in Fiber: High in dietary fiber, carob helps to promote digestive health and regularity.
• Good Source of Calcium: Offers a notable amount of calcium.

In Our Bites:

• Chazelnut Bites: Carob powder is used alongside cocoa to add a rich, sweet flavor, enhancing the nutty profile of the bites and offering a complex flavor palette without the stimulants found in cocoa.
