Description
Carob is a tropical tree (Ceratonia silliqua) native to the eastern Mediterranean. The plant is also known as St John’s Bread or Locust Bean. The pods contain a sweet, edible pulp and has an earthy, cocoa-like flavour. It can be used as a dairy and caffeine-free chocolate chip substitute in baking, confections, and frozen desserts.
Directions
- In a cookie recipe, replace Carob Chips for Chocolate Chips. Note: some Carob chips are sweetened, others are unsweetened – check the label. The sweetened ones will have a sweetness level similar to common brands of chocolate chips. Westpoint Naturals Carob Chips are unsweetened!
