Product Description
Carob powder is made from the seeds of the carob tree through drying and grinding. Its color and texture are very similar to cocoa, so it is mainly used as a substitute for it.
Unlike cocoa, carob powder does not cause problems for pets, so it is often used for making treats.
Importance, impacts:

Carob powder also contains antioxidants, as well as important minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc.
