The excellent nutritional properties of carob have made it edible for the past 4000 years. In Greece, due to its easy availability, it was one of the main sources of food during the occupation period. Carob remains a complete nutritional fruit and its nutritional value is significant for the health of the body.
Its antioxidant properties are due to its high content of dietary fibers, polyphenols, and tannins. Although rich in sugars, it has very few calories, low fat, and no caffeine. Carob contains large amounts of vitamins (A, B, B2, D) and trace elements (calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and iron). It is tasty, easily digestible, and holds an important place in the traditional Mediterranean diet.
Carob greatly helps those who are allergic to chocolate. When substituting cocoa powder with carob flour, reduce the sugar in the recipe by 2 tablespoons (25 ml) and increase the fat by 2 tablespoons (25 ml).
