What is Carob and the Best Kind for Health Benefits? 

I have a carob tree in my front yard in Phoenix, Arizona where temperatures reach 118F in the summer. It is drought tolerant and a great shade tree, and the bees love it when it is in bloom. The blooms smell like honey. I was not aware that I could eat the raw pods! Thank you for this great information!

I'm from Palestine🇵🇸, originally arab🌙 we drink carob (kharoub/ خروب) drink. adding a small amount of sugar in a pan, when turns into caramel adding dried carob pods that has been cut into pieces/ chunks, stir then add water, boil, drain then refrigerate. Or just simply soak for 12 hours carob pieces in water in a cool place then blended with the soaking water, drain well and refrigerate. Its a Very tasty delicious drink that has a unique aroma, flavor and smell to it. SO GOOD👌🏼 mostly drink in the month of Ramadan🌙🕌♡

Great video with so much info! When I was visiting Israel in 1988 we went to a park and there were some vendors selling various foods and snacks. As I was waling around I saw laying underneath a very large shade tree a lot of dark brown Carob pods! I was so excited as I have known these pods throughout my life as "Boxer". We would eat these as a treat for one of the Jewish holidays. (I can't remember which one it was). So I went up to one of the vendors and asked if he had a bag. He gave me a large plastic bag and I proceeded to collect at least a gallon's worth of the pods. I went over to a water fountain and washed some of them off and bit into one. I could not control my excitement when I bit into this delicious honey flavored soft pulp of the carob pod. Well I offered them to everyone on our tour but the people were afraid to eat them and were not familiar with them as I was from my childhood. Well I took my huge bag full of carob pods and packed them well into my suitcase and flew back home. When I got home I surprised my late father with the bag of carob. He too was very excited about them cause he loved them as much as I did. I was so happy to make HIM happy, as my late father had terminal Cancer, and this was one thing I could do for him before he passed in 1990. I so wish I could find a distributor so I could find fresh carob. As according to this marvelous video they as VERY healthy and nutritious with loads of vitamins and minerals. To anyone reading this, if you could give me info on a distributor of fresh Carob Pods, I would be most grateful.😘

I grew up with Carob back home in Morocco. I remember we used to eat it almost every day.

This video was very thorough at explaining all things carob. It literally answered all my curious questions. Well done!

I'm from Turkey. I used to eat dried carot when I was a kid as a snack. It is great, not too sweet but satisfying. Chewy but soft enough to eat. I dont see them around anymore.

I have a big jar of carob powder. I ground it myself. I love it

One of the most complete video about carob! Thank you so much!

The best one is the Moroccan Carob, especially the wild one from our mountains, it's stronger than the farmed varieties.

Im planting 600 carob trees next year, can’t wait

I love carob so much.I make from carob powder easy yummy carob brownies,time to time,ussualy more in winter.I like it that it dosen't need to sweetners to add,to make it eatable.I love that carob dosen't need adding too much fancy ingrediens, to make in to a delishous recipe.

WOW. What an incredible video!! such open sharing of information, knowledge and recipes, so used to being forced into following multiple links before getting the full info about a topic. Big respect and gratitude to your chanel, liked, subscribed, binge watch in process 😅

I'm a treat baker at a dog grooming shop, & carob is a huge part of the decoration; I wanted to be able to inform myself & my customers what their canines are eating, and this was so informative & useful, thank you for this.

I mix carob with tahina and use as dip with coliflower is so delicious

Awesome teaching video and tips. Thank you for sharing this wonderful information video.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

It tastes way better than chocolate 😍 cacao are really inedible if not sweetened. Plus carob is not caffeinated like cacao so it’s actually healthy

The carob tree pods are edible and you can extract a sugar substance from the pods which is very tasty.

Carob is also grown in Turkey

Great video about carob which i dont know knothing, thanks so much....love from egypt, even i saw the tree and the fruit everywhere but I never eat them yet. I regret it now

Thank you so much for this wealth of thorough information. :)

Carob is good for those who have a chocolate allergy.

Tanx 4 sharing healthy info👌👌👌👌

simply love your videos,,,thank you so much

wow! great information! where/how did you get all this! lol

Thanks for this useful information.

When we were kids, my mother tried to get us to give up hot chocolate mix for carob. She kept insisting it was "just like chocolate". It was *not* at all "just like chocolate".

Excellent info thank you

In Turkey carob is called "Goat Horn"

My hamster LOVES this, specially the pods

thanks,for your short video with the information about carob. in my country el Salvador central America we called tamarindo dulce.

AThank you for the great info!

Almost everything (food wise) is more nutrition raw. Cooking, roasting, whatever the heat application, is usually done for flavor. We roast coffee beans for flavor. People have no problem with that. But roast carob for flavor, and people quit buying it. Stores quit stocking it. What gives? I have to order roasted carob powder online now.

That was very very help full. thank you very mush

I really like carob powder, but it seems to act like a stimulant for me even though it is free of caffeine and theobromine. Any idea why this would be? It can cause insomnia.

Thnx for the good info ..however i am Muslim and what you said about using Carob in islamic ceremonial purposes is not true。。I think you are mixing Traditional/culture like ceremonies (of some muslim region) and the religion of Islam 。。The thing is that it is advised to eat naturel foods and Carob was mentionned in Quran just like grenades ...apples ...figues。。olive oil which is why we muslims say they have great benefits for health and try to incorporate them as much as we can in our daily diet。。。 I just felt the need to correct you (no offense intended 😊)。Anyways..u got a new subbie here 😊(Sarah from Algeria/North Africa)

Can you give the quantities for that fudge recipe? thanks

Oxalate in Carob? I'm not to eat chocolate due to high Oxalate value (I have kidney stones) I would like to know the Oxalate value in Carob, but can't seem to find it. Thank You

@4:21 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Fantastic thanks so much.

I'm curious about why people use this power in desserts, squid ink, or even cosmetics. Is it for taste or color? In my opinion, the amount seems too small to significantly impact taste or color. I recently discovered carob powder in a jar of squid ink. What purpose does it serve in squid ink?

Are they low GI?

I found some beans on the ground today that smelled like carob, but were skinny and round like pencils. Yet curved and brown like carob. I thought they might be another variety of carob. They smell delicious.

I have three big carob trees

John at locust the clean insect

The best wild carob is here in Turkey because of the climate.

Where can I buy carob syrup in Selangor Malaysia .?

Is it still healthy if it’s roasted?

idk about super food lol i have a monster sized carob tree infront of my house ive chewd them but it makes ur mouth super bitter and its a bit sweet i dont understand the hype. (im in CA) also s.t jonhs bread i have no clue how u can compare this to bread its like comparing apples to squash

I love you Caroub Nut :)

Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. God bless you. Thank you. 😊Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 🤍🌈🤍

Turkish names is KECIBOYNUZU 😊

Watching this while eating a carob

I literally marked these plants in my mental map because they smell weird There are a lot near me if I'm right Pretty cool, thanks

I came here cause I thought this was chocolate for dogs

Carob tastes better then Chocolate.

i wonder if this thing would count as a legume on dr greger's daily dozen 😂

I'm allergic.. ..

you should tell the people the truth 4000 years ago the Greeks discovered the carob tree & after the others they learn .... Israel or Portugal or Spain tell never exist do you know this professor ?

If carob tastes just like chocolate, then we wouldn't have chocolate. It does not taste like chocolate, it tastes like sugar frosted sh*t.

Take a food product no one wants Call it a "super"food, triple the price and sell it to la douches
