Carob Pods & Seeds, whole, wild-crafted “St. John’s bread” raw, chocolate flavor
In Cyprus, their carob syrup is known as Cyprus black gold, and is widely exported. In Malta, a syrup (ġulepp tal-ħarrub) is also made out from carob pods. A traditional sweet treat, eaten during Lent and on Good Friday, is also made from carob pods in Malta. However, carob pods were mainly used as animal fodder in the Maltese Islands, apart from times of famine or war when they formed part of the diet of many Maltese. This is a traditional Malta medicine for coughs and sore throat. Carob pods were an important world source of natural sugar before sugarcane and sugar beets became widely cultivated for sugar… and before the corn industry invented the addictive and harmful drug high-fructose corn syrup which took over in America as a cheap, not natural sweetener in almost all commercial food.
