Carob powder is a natural product obtained from the fruit of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), processed by cleaning, crushing, roasting and grinding. The raw material is a loose, dark brown powder with a pleasant taste and aroma reminiscent of cocoa and coffee notes.
Carob powder is distinguished by its high dietary fibre content (~60%) and low fat content. Thanks to its natural origin, absence of GMOs and allergens, and mild taste, it is safe and well tolerated in functional foods and foods for children.
Carob powder is characterised by a fine structure (98% of particles <75 microns), natural colour and microbiological purity. It has a low moisture and ash content and is free from pathogens.
