carob flour

Cibo Crudo's carob flour is produced exclusively from organic and raw carobs, for a natural and healthy product.

The ingredients used are raw, sun-dried, and therefore suitable for those following a raw food diet.

Grown in warm climates, the carob tree bears the fruit known as carob. These exceptional fruits have been used as food for over 5,000 years.

Carob flour is an alternative to cocoa powder, with several advantages:

Carob flour is caffeine and theobromine free

Caffeine and theobromine are both stimulants, which make you more alert and give you a burst of energy. However, they can also have the side effect of making you nervous, anxious, and irritable.

Many people cannot consume products with caffeine such as coffee and chocolate before sleeping, because it causes insomnia.

Too much caffeine can even lead to headaches and abnormal heart rhythms. For many people who regularly consume caffeine, stopping consumption leads to withdrawal symptoms, which ensures that caffeine is a "drug".

If you like a chocolate-like flavor, but without the stimulating effects, Carob Flour provides everyone with an excellent alternative.

Carob Flour contains much less oxalates

Unlike chocolate, carob contains very few oxalates. Consuming oxalates can lead to kidney stones. If you are at risk of developing kidney stones, your doctor may ask you to limit oxalate, which is in some foods, including chocolate. Carob Flour, in this case too, replaces chocolate, both in flavor and quantity.

Carob flour is rich in calcium

Carobs contain calcium, which is important for bones and teeth, and helps prevent osteoporosis. By the way, about 55g of carob provides almost half the daily calcium requirement of an average person. According to Jennifer Vimbor, a dietitian and founder of Chicago Counseling Nutrition Services, chocolate, which contains a lot of oxalate, can actually inhibit the absorption of calcium into the bloodstream.

The vitamins and minerals that carob flour is rich in

Carobs contain a range of vitamins: A, B, B2, B3, and D. They are rich in minerals such as magnesium, iron, phosphorus, manganese, and potassium. Carob powder is also a good source of fiber and protein. In addition, it is naturally cholesterol-free, and carobs also contain pectin, which lowers cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of heart disease.

Gastrointestinal aids from Carob Flour

Carobs treat coughs and can stop some severe diarrhea attacks. The typical remedy is: 1 tablespoon of carob powder in a cup of liquid, such as water, and drink it or eat it with a teaspoon. It can also relieve nausea, vomiting, and stomach ache.

Finally, Carob Powder is also naturally sweet, so "chocolate" products made with Carob Powder generally contain much less sugar

Natural food with a low fat content and a total absence of caffeine and chemical treatments. It is rich in proteins, vitamins (A, D, B1, B2, B3), minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium). Carob flour is used in various ways: ✅ in the preparation of confectionery products, also as a cocoa substitute, thanks to its high total sugar content, natural color, and classic flavor. Precisely for this last reason, it can be used in addition to durum wheat flour in bread and fresh pasta making; ✅ in naturalistic nutrition, carob flour is used as a flavor enhancer and alternative sweetener, suitable for the diet of diabetics and celiacs, due to the presence of reducing sugars and the absence of gluten; ✅ in traditional medicine, carob flour has always been used as an intestinal regulator for adults and children, and various studies attribute health benefits such as antioxidant, natural cholesterol-lowering, and satiating properties
