Carob is the fruit of the carob tree and it is used in the same manner as cocoa powder, it can be sprinkled on food or taken as a tea, extract or in a capsule form.
Raw carob is subtly sweet and not at all bitter with a pleasant almost caramel-like taste.
Nutritionally, carob is rich in a number of vitamins and minerals but is known to be particularly high in calcium. It is a source of protein and contains a substantial amount of dietary fiber.
Carob contains some antioxidants, mostly in the form of polyphenols. It also has an alkalizing effect on body and in certain cultures it is considered to be an aphrodisiac.
Throughout history carob has been used as a digestive aid and to soothe an upset stomach.

Absolute in love with this product. It’s somehow sweet, nutty, floral and fruity all at the same time. This is one of the only places I’ve been able to find raw carob nibs! Super fresh and will definitely be purchasing again. |

Even if you haven’t traveled the world, you likely know about the storied place mint tea holds in Moroccan culture. Just the name Moroccan Mint brings to mind the labyrinthine markets and smoky bazaars of Marrakesh, the sand-swept deserts and the jade oases of the countryside. Is there any sight more marked of hospitality than the standard mint tea pour, starting at the base of the cup and rising to head level in one continuous, unbroken steaming stream, spilling nary a drop?
