Carob Powder: Overview
Carob powder (light roasted) is a natural, caffeine-free alternative to cocoa, derived from the dried and roasted pods of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua). With a mildly sweet, earthy flavor and a hint of caramel, it is commonly used in baking, smoothies, and beverages. Light roasting enhances its natural sweetness while maintaining its nutritional value, including fiber, antioxidants, and essential minerals like calcium and potassium. Unlike cocoa, carob is free from theobromine, making it a suitable choice for individuals sensitive to stimulants. Its versatility and health benefits make it a popular ingredient in health-conscious and vegan-friendly diets.
