Carob is part of the legume family whose cultivation dates back to historic times. The tree produces an edible seeded fruit pod that the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans are said to have eaten raw for natural sweetness.

The pods are ground into a powdered form used as a popular chocolate substitute since it only contains one-third the calories of chocolate (cacao), and it is virtually fat-free.
