Carob is completely unrelated to the Cacao/Cocoa Bean. They provide a useful alternative to the chocolatey flavour normally obtained from Cocoa Beans. This particular carob powder has a very delicate, sweet flavour that comes very, very close to Cacao/Cocoa. It is the raw, unroasted nature of this carob powder which enables it to mimic chocolate so closely. We have not come across a better powder in this respect. We have made handmade carob chocolates using this powder and we could not tell the difference between these and normal cocoa-based chocolates.
Conventional, roasted carob powder is often too heavy in flavour to use in great quantities. This unroasted powder is different. It can easily be used as a direct replacement for Cacao/Cocoa Powder in cake, biscuit, chocolate and other sweet recipes. You may even like to try using it in a Mexican Mole - we have yet to try this!
Product may be prone to clumping, but this does not effect the quality or taste. It simply needs breaking up either with your hands, or for a less 'hands on' approach it can be whizzed in a food processor/blender back into a powder.
