dried or fresh fruit, carob bean gum E410 Thickener and syrup for chocolate and Icecream
Carob, dried or roasted and having a slightly sweet taste, in powder or chip form, is used as an ingredient in icecreams, cakes and cookies. Carob is sometimes used as a substitute for chocolate. The seeds, also known as locust beans , are used as animal feed. They are also the source of locust bean gum, a thickening agent used in numerous processed foods. In some countries, carobs are consumed as a snack. Crushed pods are used to make a refreshing drink. Compotes and liqueurs are also made from carob. Carob has proven effective in relieving diarrhea in infants. In some sections, a syrup extracted from carob is used as a complement to some dietary supplements.
Carob has also been used as a non-toxic alternative to chocolate in dog treats, as the theobromine in chocolate is fatally toxic to all animals, even humans in high enough doses (in raw form).
Carob also contains leucodelphinidin, a colorless chemical compound which is highly essential for some chemical processes.
