Carob Powder - Organic 500g Nutrigold

Nutrigold organic carob is much more than a quintessential Christmas ingredient!

Carob (Ceratonia siliqua) is a flowering evergreen tree native to warm, Mediterranean regions. The bean-like pods of the carob tree contain a sweet pulp and hard, inedible seeds which always weighed the same mass, exactly 0,18 grams without exception, regardless of seed size or storage conditions. In late ancient times, the pure gold coin known as the ''solidus'' weighed 24 carob seeds. As a result, the carat also became a measure of purity for gold.

Nutrigold carob powder is a 100% organic product obtained from carob pods that are dried and finely ground into powder incredibly reminiscent of cocoa, that is, chocolate.

Carob abounds with fibre responsible for gut health and satiation. Beneficial values of carob are hidden in rich sources of minerals which are essential for the functioning of the organism. 

In addition, carob is a good source of:

• Calcium - contributes to normal muscle function and bone health
• Iron - contributes to a strong immune system and fatigue reduction 
• Vitamin B2 - contributes to healthy skin and vision

Having that in mind, it is obvious why Nutrigold carob is a perfect addition to every pantry. Besides having an incredibly rich, chocolate-like flavour, it carries a wealth of nutrients and is, therefore, often used as a substitute for chocolate in baking recipes or as a coffee alternative.
