Carob and the Gluten Free Diet
Carob is derived from the pods of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), a flowering evergreen shrub native to the Mediterranean region. The pods are dried and ground into a powder, which has a naturally sweet taste and is often used as a substitute for cocoa powder in baking and beverages. Unlike cocoa, carob is caffeine-free and contains less fat, making it a popular alternative for those looking to reduce caffeine and fat intake.
