Virgina Roast Carob Powder 50 lb.

Details

Use this Virginia roast carob powder to create irresistible confections and gourmet baked goods! Carob is a unique and versatile ingredient that is prized for its natural sweetness and mild flavor, which is similar in taste to chocolate. Also known as a locust bean, carob is a long, dark, leathery pod that has been enjoyed for thousands of years in places like ancient Greece, Italy, and the Middle East. The pods grow on evergreen trees that are native to the Mediterranean, and this powder is made with 100% carob for a pure, undiluted flavor. The pods are air dried, cleaned, cut, sifted to remove seeds, resulting in this finely ground powder that is easily incorporated into your recipes.

Boasting numerous health benefits, carob is also high in protein, calcium, iron, and potassium. Plus, this powder is made without the use of processing aids, excipients, preservatives, or additives for a pure product that your customers will love. This carob powder is a great replacement for cocoa powder in baked goods, beverages, and confections. Naturally free from caffeine and fat, you can use it as a 1:1 substitute for cocoa powder in your favorite recipes, such as flourless cake, hot carob "cocoa," or fudgy carob cookies. Since it is naturally sweeter than chocolate, consider using less sweetener or combining it with traditional cocoa powder to achieve the sweetness level you desire.
