Good quality. Fresh and clean. If you're trying to cut out chocolate, carob can be a substitute. But for me, chocolate and carob taste different. Chocolate is bitter and rich, carob is sweet and nutty. Sometimes I want chocolate milk, and sometimes I want carob milk. They can be used in a lot of the same ways, hence making it a good substitute.

I recently incorporated Herbaila’s Carob Powder into my baking and beverage recipes, and it has been a delightful experience. This all-natural, non-bitter, and caffeine-free powder serves as a fantastic substitute for traditional cocoa powder. Its naturally sweet flavor eliminates the need for additional sweeteners, making it perfect for health-conscious individuals. Beyond its taste, this carob powder is a nutrient-rich superfood, providing essential vitamins such as A, B2, B3, and B6, along with minerals like calcium, copper, manganese, zinc, and selenium. Its high dietary fiber and antioxidant content further enhance its health benefits. Being vegan and gluten-free, it aligns well with various dietary preferences. I’ve used it to make fudge, smoothies, brownies, and pancakes, and each time, it has added a unique and pleasant flavor. The powder is finely ground, mixes well, and doesn’t clump, ensuring a smooth consistency in all my recipes. Overall, Herbaila’s Carob Powder is a versatile and healthy addition to any kitchen, especially for those looking to reduce caffeine or seeking alternatives to chocolate.

It smells similar to chocolate, and tastes similar to chocolate. I put it in the blender with frozen bananas to make a dairy-free ice cream. My daughter and I absolutely love it. I also mix it with agave to make a carob sauce, but the texture of it is a little grainy. When in a hot dish like oatmeal, it seems to melt in. I absolutely love this as an alternative, I just wish the price was a little lower

I have been buying this product for over a year; I love it. Good substitute for chocolate.

I bought this Carob Powder as I was looking for a substitute for sugar and/or flavored syrup in my morning coffee. This is the first time I have tried Carob Powder. It has an interesting taste; hard to describe. It does have a bit of a chocolate taste. I definitely like it. Between adding both carob powder and cinnamon to my coffee, I've eliminated all sugar in my coffee. Once in a while I put a little bit of Stevia in. Thanks to the Carob and Cinnamon, my coffee has become healthier. One thing I've noticed about the Carob powder is it is a bit dense. As I near the end of the coffee, I find I need to swish the remaining coffee around as some of the Carob will fall to the bottom of the cup. Not a big deal. I look forward to baking with this.

Awesome

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I haven't found it in local stores, so I checked Amazon, and there it was. So, I purchased it. I like it as much as chocolate and it tastes as good. Taste: Tastes good!

My son has a chocolate allergy. Yeah it sucks. We usually find work arounds using different flavors like vanilla or cherry. This year for his birthday he wanted a minecraft cake. Sigh. The easiest way to mimic dirt is chocolate. So I did some digging and came across carob. 1:1 ratio in baking as a replacement for regular cocoa powder is what I used. It turned out great! He's very excited to have the cake he wanted, and I'm glad I didn't have to pack it with a ton of food coloring to get the brown color I was needing. It tastes like a lighter, nutter version of chocolate. When baking it smelled like chocolate cake, and looks like chocolate cake. The package came sealed, no leakage and fast. I didn't have any issues at all. I will buy again!
