Carob powder

Carob powder is a natural product that has been used for generations around the Mediterranean as a natural alternative to cocoa. It is made from the pods of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) and has a mild, rounded, cocoa-like flavour.

Carob powder is perfect for baking, drinks and desserts, especially if you want a caffeine-free alternative that still has a delicate, mild cocoa-like flavour.

As a rule, carob can often replace cocoa 1:1 in recipes. Start with a little less sugar and adjust to taste. It can also be used as an extra addition to dishes where you use cocoa, to give the cocoa flavour an extra dimension. Try using carob powder in your baking too – it's fantastic in banana bread, for example!

Carob powder has a lower fat content than cocoa and is gluten-free.

Tip: Use carob with cinnamon, vanilla or cardamom for extra depth.
