Carob, also known as St. John's bread, is a versatile and nutritious alternative to chocolate and sugar. Native to the Mediterranean region, carob has been used for centuries in various forms, from a sweetener to a medicine. In recent years, carob has been gaining popularity as a healthier alternative to chocolate, and for good reason.
Carob is high in fiber, antioxidants, and minerals such as calcium and iron. It is also low in fat and has no caffeine or theobromine, making it a great alternative for those who are sensitive to chocolate. It is also naturally sweet, so it can be used as a natural sweetener in recipes.
Here in the Algarve, we are lucky to have an abundance of carob trees that produce some of the best carobs in the world. At our carob company, we source our carobs from local farmers who hand-harvest the fruit to ensure that only the best carobs are used in our products. Our main product is carob powder, a versatile ingredient that can be used in baking, cooking, and as a natural sweetener. We are always exploring new ways to incorporate carob into our product line, so stay tuned for more exciting carob products in the future.
