Carob Powder

[GlutenGalAZ]

In my local health food store they have Chatfield's Carob & Compliments -- Carob Powder. Has anyone used this?

From what I read on the container it has NO Chocolate, Coco or Caffeine in it. From what it said on the container sounds like it can be used in place of Coco Powder. I saw Carob Chips (like chocolate chips) next to the powder.

I think it is neat b/c there is no Caffeine in it, but I do not know anyone who has used/tried it.

Any input??

Thanks

I've never tried the powder, but I do like carob chips and carob covered nuts. I was just thinking about this the other day. Haven't had carob since before gluten-free. I can't do sugar and was wondering if it was in carob........probably is.......wishful thinking

Carob is derived from drying and pulverizing a fruit that grows on trees in the Mediterranean. It is sweeter than cocoa and contains no sugar. I use it almost every morning to make Banana Carob Waffles. Lip-smacking good!

Thanks for the replies

Read a little more info last night and it sounds interesting. I think I will think about it a little more and get it when I am going to be making more stuff that calls for coco. Its almost $6 for the container so don't want it to sit around.

Thanks again.
