Worldwide Botanicals Organic Carob Powder - Medium Roast - Gluten Free, Super Food, Low Fat, Kosher, Healthy Chocolate Alternative, 1 Pound (16 ounces)

Description

Carob pods, harvested from a wild tree native to the Mediterranean, are lightly roasted to bring out their sweet, chocolatey flavor. A member of the legume family, carob seeds are used to make locust bean gum, commonly found in ice cream. The dark brown pods contain calcium and 24 antioxidants that help protect cells from free radical damage that causes aging and illness. Pinitol, a unique compound in carob pods, reduces insulin resistance and boosts energy. Carobs carbohydrates are bound in complex fiber for a low glycemic index that supports good digestion and regularity. Compared to chocolate, carob is stimulant free, has no added sugar or fat and thus is much lower in calories. Worldwide Botanicals founder has been sourcing herbs worldwide for 40+ years, working in partnership with suppliers to import the highest quality products and guarantee superior flavor. We are not always the cheapest but our botanicals are the best. Sourced in Spain
