What it is

Carob is a flowering evergreen shrub or tree native to the Mediterranean region. The edible pods of the carob tree are dried and ground into a powder. This powder is often used as a chocolate substitute due to its similar flavor and color.

Why it's used

Carob powder is used as a natural sweetener and flavorant, particularly in baked goods, candies, and beverages. It is a common ingredient in chocolate-free 'chocolate' products, energy bars, and health food items.

Health notes

Carob is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of fiber and contains some vitamins and minerals. JECFA has evaluated carob and did not specify a numerical ADI. Research suggests potential benefits from its fiber content, but more studies are needed to confirm these effects.

Allergen info

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