Why we picked it

We like it because it is sweeter than cocoa and contains no caffeine, so you can make chocolatey hot drinks and desserts that are suitable in the evening too, or for people who avoid caffeine.

About the product

Carob powder is made from dried and ground carob pods and has a naturally sweet taste, reminiscent of cocoa but milder. It contains no caffeine and is sweeter than cocoa, so it is often used in the kitchen as a substitute for cocoa.

Taste and aroma

Tasting notes

A sweet, warm taste with cocoa notes and a slight roasted flavour; less bitter than cocoa.

How to use it

  • Replace cocoa with carob powder in cakes, loaf cakes, biscuits or brownies; as it is naturally sweet, you can also reduce the sugar.
  • Make a chocolatey, caffeine-free hot drink by mixing the powder with warm milk or plant-based drink and a little honey.
  • Add it to smoothies, porridge oats or homemade creams, for a sweet, chocolatey note.
  • Sprinkle it over desserts or use it in energy balls alongside nuts and dried fruit.

Storage

Keep carob powder in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and strong smells.

Check each product's own storage note — some need refrigeration after opening, others keep well at room temperature.
