Properties

Kibbled carob is a versatile ingredient made from aged carob pods that have been dried and finely ground. Retaining many of the nutritional benefits of whole carob, kibbled form offers a number of properties that make it valuable for health and wellness applications.

High in slowly digestible fiber and complex carbohydrates, kibbled carob helps support regular digestion when consumed daily. Its mix of soluble and insoluble fibers feeds beneficial gut bacteria while preventing constipation. As a low glycemic food, kibbled carob also releases sustained energy when eaten.

Being rich in antioxidant polyphenols, kibbled carob acts as a natural preservative whilst protecting cells from oxidative damage. Studies show its polyphenols like caffeic and chlorogenic acids may lower inflammation in the body. As a source of essential minerals, kibbled carob further aids bone, heart and brain function when included in the diet.

Its mild, nutty flavor profile means kibbled carob can easily be mixed into various foods without altering taste. The finely ground kibbles have a pleasing crunchy texture yet blend seamlessly into baked goods, granolas, snacks, and other dry mixes. Compared to raw carob pods or powder, kibbled form is also less sediment-prone so it mixes in smoothly.

Highly digestible and nutritious, kibbled carob offers multifaceted benefits as an everyday food additive. Its range of nourishing compounds makes it suitable for supporting general wellness as part of a balanced diet.

Moreover, carob syrup provides a liquid source of balanced sugars and fibers for those looking for an alternative sweetener, while carob powder is a versatile ingredient for baking and health-conscious cooking. The unique qualities of carob seeds and Locust bean gum are particularly valued in food production, and carob germ stands out as a highly nutritious component for specialized diets.
