Carob

Carob

Ceratonia siliqua

The carob is mainly found around the Mediterranean Sea. The seeds are used to produce carob bean gum and the pulp is used to produce flour.

The carob is a caloric fruit because its main components are carbohydrates, half of which are dietary fibres. It also contains proteins, lipids and water.

Carob has high levels of potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and vitamin A.

Carob is known to be an appetite suppressant food and can have benefits for the digestive system.

Its added value is that it resembles cocoa both in appearance and smell.

The powder can therefore be used in a drink, dessert or spread.

It is used as a food supplement in the form of capsules or tablets.
