Carob Powder Organic

Carob powder is delicious in hot or cold beverages. Add a spoonful to smoothies, or dissolve in a little warm water before adding ice and your favourite chilled dairy or plant milk. For a substitute to hot chocolate, simply replace cocoa with an equal amount of carob. As carob is naturally sweet added sugar is not necessary, although a dash of honey, coconut nectar or maple syrup does add extra flavour.To create a lovely non-dairy chocolate substitute, combine carob powder with an equal amount or coconut oil, with a dash of maple or coconut syrup. Dip fresh fruit in melted mix (try banana, mango and strawberries), stir through mixed seeds and chopped nuts and spoon 'clusters' on to grease proof paper to set; or add dried fruit (Inca and goji berries are great) and set in a slab.This raw carob powder is also wonderful for raw food treats and home-baked goods. To use carob powder as a replacement for cacao powder in recipes, substitute 1:1. If replacing solid dark cooking chocolate, use 2-3 times as much carob powder by weight.
