Carob is a flowering tree or shrub. The best carob grows wild in the mountainous areas of the Mediterranean. It is either dried into a powder or can be boiled to make a delicious, highly nutritious molasses-like concentrate, a centuries-old process. With its malt-like sugars aiding in a healthy probiotic response it also acts as a dependable, natural, and safe laxative. It’s the best chocolate replacement with nearly as high an Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) value at some 800 units per tablespoon. Carob powder is healthy, too, being high in vitamins and minerals and is an ideal option for those sensitive to chocolate (as found in ChagaChunks).
