Manufacturer suggested retail price MSRP:
Current price $3.95
Carob doesn't get nearly the credit it deserves. It's naturally sweet, rich in a way that genuinely reminds you of chocolate, and completely free of caffeine and added sugar. You can brew them into a carob tea, chop them up for baking, or steep them overnight for a deeper infusion. The flavor is mellow and slightly earthy, with a sweetness that doesn't need anything else. Because carob contains zero theobromine, it won't affect your sleep or leave you feeling wired.

How do I make carob tea?
Boil one pod in water for 5 to 10 minutes. That's genuinely all there is to it. Five minutes gives you something lighter and more delicate. Push it to 10, and the flavor deepens and becomes more chocolatey. -
Will it actually work as a cocoa replacement in baking?
It does, and honestly, better than most people expect. Use carob powder or chop the pods fine. One thing to watch for: carob is sweeter than cocoa, so pull back a little on the sugar the recipe calls for, or your end result will be noticeably sweet. -
Can kids or pregnant women have it?
Carob is about as gentle as food gets, and it contains no caffeine or stimulants. Most people handle it without any issue. However, it's not recommended for children or pregnant women -
Does carob contain any caffeine or theobromine?
No, carob and cocoa come from completely different botanical families. Carob does not have caffeine or theobromine. That’s why people who cannot eat chocolate can usually eat carob without a problem. -
How to store carob pods?
Always choose a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. An airtight jar or container keeps them fresh for months. Treat them like any dried herb or spice, and they'll hold up fine.
