Organic Carob Powder, 200g, Dragon Superfoods

A naturally sweet alternative to cocoa

Carob powder is obtained from the pods of the evergreen carob tree, a plant traditionally grown in the warm Mediterranean climate.

The ripe pods are dried and finely ground into a smooth brown powder with a naturally sweet taste. Its flavour combines roasted, caramel and cocoa-like notes, making it easy to use in both drinks and desserts.

Carob does not taste exactly like cocoa. It has a milder, naturally sweeter profile that works particularly well in recipes where you want rich flavour without an intensely bitter finish.

Made from 100% organic carob

Dragon Superfoods Organic Carob Powder contains one ingredient only: organically grown carob.

No flavours, colours, sweeteners or other ingredients are added. The taste, colour and natural sweetness come entirely from the carob pods.

High in fibre

Carob powder contains 41 g of fibre per 100 g. It is an easy way to add more fibre to breakfast recipes, smoothies and homemade desserts.

Its fine texture blends well into both liquid and baked recipes, without leaving large pieces or changing the consistency significantly.

Naturally sweet, with no added ingredients

Carob powder contains 38 g of naturally occurring sugars per 100 g. Its natural sweetness can reduce the amount of additional sweetener needed in some recipes.

The ingredient list contains no added sugar, syrup or sweetener. Adjust the rest of the recipe according to the sweetness you prefer.

How to use carob powder

Add it to:

• Pancakes and waffles
• Cakes, muffins and brownies
• Chocolate-style mousses and creams
• Smoothies and shakes
• Porridge and overnight oats
• Yoghurt or plant-based alternatives

Carob can be used on its own or combined with cocoa for a deeper, more intense flavour. When replacing cocoa in a recipe, start by replacing part of the cocoa and adjust according to taste.
