Health Benefits of Raw Carob Powder

One of the most popular products here in Red Onion Spice is our Organic, High Quality Organic Raw Carob Powder - from the forests of Turkey.

It is often used as a popular substitute for chocolate because it is nutrient and vitamin dense. The carob pods are also rich in antioxidant polyphenols - 19.2% - like chocolate.

As a food, our raw carob is most often used as a hypoallergenic substitute for chocolate.

It can also be used as herbal medicine and it's a great as a natural treatment for diarrhea. The fiber - locust bean gum - in carob will help reduce the volume of fluid lost and hence prevents dehydration - it works especially well in children. We recommend giving this to children mixed with applesauce or sweet potatoes and a glass of water. 

Our raw Carob powder is also useful as a diet food - often used in a variety of weight loss formulations, energy bars, drinks, and tea formulations. It has been scientifically shown to lowers the glycemic index of foods with which it is mixed. 

We love a slice of carob cake for a Healthy energy boost. It will release sugars much more slowly into the bloodstream than a slice of chocolate cake.
