Description: The carob (Ceratonia siliqua) is an evergreen tree or shrub belonging to the Caesalpinioideae sub-family within the legume family, Fabaceae. Cultivated widely for its edible pods, it also serves as an attractive ornamental addition to gardens and landscapes. Indigenous to the Mediterranean region and the Middle East, the carob tree serves as a direct source of energy and protein. Packed with essential nutrients including vitamins A, B, and D, along with phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, manganese, and copper, carob is also rich in polyphenols, glutamic acid, and arginine. Its high fiber content aids in preventing constipation. Additionally, it contains a natural sweetener with a chocolate-like aroma, making it a popular substitute for cocoa. Carob is typically consumed raw as a fruit, but caution is advised regarding its hard seeds, which should not be ingested. For storage, keep carob at room temperature in a dry, shaded location.
