What it is

Carob seed gum is a natural thickening and stabilizing agent derived from the seeds of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), which is native to the Mediterranean region. The seeds are ground into a fine powder to produce the gum.

At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Research has explored its potential as a source of dietary fiber.
