Carob Powder (Medium Roast)

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.

• Caffeine-free- Free from caffeine or theobromine our carob powder is ideal for people sensitive to the effects of caffeine or who want to avoid caffeine.
• Substitute- It is lower in fat than cocoa and boasts 3 times more calcium too. Simply, substitute it for recipes that call for Cocoa or Chocolate.
• Pet friendly- For all the pet fanatics out there, carob is a pet-friendly substitute for chocolate. Surprise them on the days they made you feel how special you are, with some carob treats made just for them! 

Our Carob Powder (Medium Roast) originates from Turkey. 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.

• Substitute cocoa powder- It has a sweet and mild taste as compared to the bitterness of Cocoa. You could replace the cocoa powder with carob powder one-for-one in your recipes but reduce the amount of sugar or sweeteners in the recipe by about 25%.
• Beverages- Alternatively, you could use half cocoa powder and half carob powder. Try using it to add a delicious extra dimension to your favourite smoothies, nut milk, and protein shakes. 
• Desserts- Prepare a tempting range of raw food snacks and desserts, including raw chocolate, cakes and cookies. Enjoy a handpicked favourite recipe: Chocolate Earth Balls The best part? No baking is required. Read about the various Health Benefits of this superfood here
