Raw Carob and Raw Cacao Comparison. Raw Carob Pods and Powder Information 

In this day and age of cacao obsession, it's nice to see someone discuss carob, definitely a raw food powerhouse of nutrition and one of my culinary favorites...

Wow! I already liked carob a lot, but wanted to know more about it. I have a horrible migraines, when I eat chocolate, with all the accompanying symptoms: excruciating pain, aura, visual/audio disruptions and projectile "unpleasantness." I have a similar reaction to coffee, and anything else with caffeine in it, but chocolate is the absolute worst for me. Carob has been my go to replacement for a while, but NOW, I feel REALLY good about eating it! Thank you for this incredibly informative video.

John everytime I see you, you look younger and younger. Maybe thats why you eat raw food. Your actually a living example of how raw foods compares to cooked.

i dont know america europe but. in turkey carob is well known and respected food. im really lucky to have that already in my culture.

Cacao is very high in soluble fiber. It is not acidic either. What acidic minerals does it contain? Not many, they're all alkalizing (magnesium, iron, zinc and potassium). Carobs great too, but I don't see any reason why cacao needs to be vilified to try and raise carob up on a pedestal. There is not a single confirmed case of human theobromine poisoning from chocolate EVER. Sure it doesn't agree with some people, but raw garlic doesn't agree with everyone either.

Thank you. i love the thought you put into your videos - even my partner who is not raw, not vegan and hard to please has started watching you with great interest too.

Thank you for showing these different products. I am just using up the last of my cacao and replaced it with raw carob for all my chocolate needs.

I have been looking for carob in any form at the local health food stores and it has become a very, very rare commodity on the shelves. Sunspire makes a very delicious version of chips for baking, when you can find them. I have to stay away from cacao and other stimulants like caffeine to prevent my blood pressure from spiking. Theobromine raises my blood pressure - so it does cause problems - even in the context of chocolate foods.

@okraw thanks i ordered some carob pods and have grown some 6 inch tall sprouts. they are very hearty plants. waves~~

fat isnt bad for you and neither are nuts.

Great information I am 100 percent in agreement, thank you for posting.

i am from Cyprus and the people here we forgot about carop benfits ,but i still use it instead of nescafe or cacao in my milk ( hot milk) thank you for the video

Hey John, Time to update this video and do a tasting of a really true raw cacao seed - one with the actual sweet pulp still intact - not washed and stripped off! We have some if you like...

@XmortdreadX Some foods have to be cooked to be edible (e.g. beans), or to be sanitized (e.g. meat), other foods lose nutrients after cooking (e.g. vegetables).

I love carobs too. Unfortunately, they are not easy to find here. I think most people dislike them, or don't know about them.

Thanks for the info John. Your a star!!!!

Thank you for you videos! would be really nice if you make one video about How to make a Raw Syrup and raw powder of Raw Carob Pods.. that´s will be very useful for me and a lot of Raw Vegans .

could you point out the carob plant?? bush?? tree?? where would we buy one??

Hi John ~ I'm unable to go to the website you mention at the end, Is there another address or site to buy this? Thanks so much! Debbie *Ü*

Where else do you buy raw carob? I'm on the East coast and not paying $30 for a few pieces like some sites and stuff on the rfw. Thanks

i like the beginning where it looks like he is going to kidnap you! thumbs up.

John, where can I get an air layered or grafted female carob tree? 😔

So, your carob website is inaccessible. Is there another way to get fresh raw carob pods?

I have to go find this stuff, I've never seen or tried it.

As seen in the dictionary - the⋅o⋅bro⋅mine [thee-uh-broh-meen, -min] noun Pharmacology. a white, crystalline, water-insoluble, poisonous powder, C7H8N4O2, an isomer of theophylline and lower homologue of caffeine, occurring in tea and obtained from the cacao bean: used chiefly as a diuretic, myocardial stimulant, and vasodilator.

Hi John, yesterday I went to the carob grove and assembled like 15 killograms of Carob to help me survive ther upcoming 3.5 years the Antichristian Totalitarian Marshal Law!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I think he has eaten too much Carob.

@JackNeedles : I hear you 10% BUT ... Do some real experimenting. Once you are 100% Raw (not with dehydrated treats or a jar of almond butter, but with TRUE fresh, whole, ripe raw fruits and green leafy vegies, THEN you will see, if you are doing a QUANTIFIABLE fitness program what happens to your performance. I have been training people for 25 years, and for the last ten with a raw diet, and all those (without exception) who are truly raw and truly in tune with their bodies notice big dif....
