What it is

Carob seed flour is made from the ground seeds of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), which is native to the Mediterranean region. The seeds are separated from the pods, and then ground into a fine powder.

Why it's used

Carob seed flour is used as a thickener and stabilizer in foods like ice cream, sauces, and baked goods. It can also be used as a chocolate substitute due to its slightly sweet, cocoa-like flavor.

Health notes

Carob seed flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for food use. It is a source of dietary fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated carob, but no specific health concerns are widely noted at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Carob seed flour is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
