Ingredient Overview
Carob is made from the sweet pulp of carob pods. Its mild, cocoa-like character makes it useful in recipes exploring alternatives to cocoa powder.
Carob powder is made from roasted Ceratonia siliqua pod pulp. Roasted carob pod pulp brings a mild sweetness and a warm, cocoa-like flavour direction. It can be explored in drinks, bakery mixes and dessert recipes. Its own character is best used deliberately in the formulation, with sweetness and colour balanced around the carob ingredient.
