Carob Powder
(Carob Powder) Carob powder is produced by grinding the roasted beans from the pods of a Mediterranean evergreen leguminous tree. For many people, including us, carob has taken the place of cocoa and chocolate. And, unlike cocoa and chocolate, carob has no caffeine and almost no fat. And since carob is sweet, it requires much less sweetener than chocolate and cocoa. See the nutritional chart below. (Photo-left is actual size)

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live! (d-6)
