 In the Kitchen:
Carob is widely used as a healthy substitute for chocolate, and can be used in much the same manner as cocoa powder and is lower in calories. Roasted carob is naturally sweeter, (or not as bitter), as unsweeted chocolate, so can be make palatable with less added sugar in recipes. Carob has a number of advantages over chocolote: it is hypoallergenic, and hypoglycemic. Carob contains fiber that can help prevent the dehydration that is so dangerous in childrens diarrhea, and carob bean gum has been used to control hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) and as a dietary adjunct to elevated plasma cholesterol management1
The true trick to enjoying carob is to not expect it to taste exactly like chocolate,(and be forever disappointed), but to learn to appreciate carob for its own unique taste.
