Dark Carob Powder

Ambrosia Dark Carob Powder is made from ground carob pod pulp and comes in a 454 g package. It offers a distinctive flavour for drinks, desserts and recipes developed for carob powder. Review the ingredients, existing preparation guidance, storage information and allergy statement below.

Ingredients: 100% pure carob. Nothing added; no sugar.

Substitutes: cocoa powder. Most cookbooks call for cocoa to be substituted for carob measure for measure, but since cocoa has a stronger flavor, you should use less. Also, reduce sugar by about ¼ as cocoa powder is naturally sweeter. Cocoa powder has more fat than carob powder, and some caffeine. Since carob burns more easily than cocoa, the recipe may call for a lower oven temperature than is necessary with cocoa powder. Due to its lower solubility, making a smooth paste of carob powder with warm water may be helpful before adding it to the other ingredients in a recipe.

Shelf life: Under proper storage, the product has a 1 year shelf life.
