Enjoy the naturally sweet, roasted taste of AWAFI MILL Carob Pod Powder, also known as Kharrub Powder or Kharoub Powder. Made from dried carob pods of the Ceratonia siliqua tree, this traditional Mediterranean and Middle Eastern ingredient is widely used in drinks, desserts, baking, smoothies, syrups, and cocoa-style recipes.

Botanical Identity:

Carob comes from Ceratonia siliqua, an evergreen tree from the Fabaceae family. The tree produces long, leathery brown pods that contain hard seeds surrounded by naturally sweet edible pulp. Carob pod powder is prepared from the dried pod pulp and is commonly used as a food ingredient.

Common & Traditional Names:

This product is known by several names, including Carob Powder, Carob Pod Powder, Kharrub Powder, Kharoub Powder, Kharub Powder, Haroub Powder, Locust Bean Powder, St. John’s Bread Powder, and Ceratonia siliqua Powder.

Appearance & Texture:

Carob Pod Powder has a naturally brown color and fine powder texture. Natural variation in shade may occur depending on pod maturity, drying, roasting, and grinding method.

Flavor Profile:

Carob has a naturally sweet, mild roasted, earthy, and caramel-like flavor. It is often used in recipes where a gentle cocoa-style taste is preferred without the strong bitterness of cocoa.

Common Culinary Uses:

Use Carob Powder in hot drinks, cold milk drinks, smoothies, shakes, puddings, cakes, cookies, muffins, brownies, dessert sauces, carob syrup, breakfast bowls, yogurt bowls, energy bites, sweet spice blends, and traditional Kharrub-style beverages.

How to Prepare a Simple Carob Drink:

Add 1–2 teaspoons of Carob Pod Powder to warm milk, plant-based milk, or water. Stir well until fully mixed. Sweetener, cinnamon, vanilla, rose water, or ice can be added according to taste. Serve warm or chilled.

How to Use in Baking:

Mix Carob Powder into cake batter, cookie dough, brownie-style recipes, muffins, pancakes, dessert fillings, or sweet sauces. Because carob is naturally sweeter than cocoa, reduce added sugar based on your recipe preference.

Cocoa-Style Use Note:

Carob is commonly used as a cocoa-style ingredient in drinks and desserts, but it is not identical to cocoa. It has a milder, naturally sweet, roasted, and caramel-like taste rather than a bitter chocolate flavor.

Important Usage Note:

This product is sold as a culinary food ingredient. It is not marketed as a medicine, treatment, or health supplement. Use according to your recipe, taste preference, and dietary needs.
