Carob Powder (caffeine free) Description
Source of our Carob Powder
Our Carob Powder originates from the idyllic lands of Madagascar.
Naturally Sweet, it is derived from the pod (that contains a luscious, edible pulp) of a carob tree. Once dried and roasted, the pulp is ground into a powder!
About our Carob Powder
The carob bean is an extremely versatile superfood, possessing a sweet nutty cocoa flavour and is rich in soluble fibre.
Our carob powder can therefore be used as a healthy alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners. Its chocolate-like taste means that it can replace cocoa or chocolate.
