Carob Powder, Unsweetened

Carob Powder, Unsweetened is a powder made from roasted, ground carob pods, traditionally used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines as a naturally sweet, caffeine-free alternative to cocoa in baking, beverages and confections. It is known for its mild, caramel-like flavor and is often labeled interchangeably as carob flour or carob powder. Nutrition-wise, Carob Powder, Unsweetened is notable for being a high-fiber ingredient, providing 40g of fiber per 100g, and it also supplies appreciable calcium; it is low in fat and naturally sweeter than cocoa, so recipes sometimes need less added sugar. It is not a significant source of protein, so it’s best used as a flavoring or flour substitute rather than a protein boost. From a health perspective, carob powder is valued for its fiber content and its lack of caffeine, and it provides some minerals like calcium and copper; it also contains some antioxidant compounds, though it’s not especially concentrated in polyphenols compared with certain other plant powders.Read more
