Carob is a wonderful substitute for cocoa. It contains fewer calories, is naturally sweet, and, unlike cocoa or sweet chocolate, is caffeine-free and non-addictive. In addition, it is usually cheaper. Also, unlike cocoa and chocolate, Carob does not interfere with the body's assimilation of calcium. Carob Beans may be roasted and ground for use as a coffee substitute, and Carob is a versatile additive used to flavor jams, liqueurs, juices, and other food products.

Carob is high in fiber and rich in a class of tannins known as polyphenols, which manifest strong antiviral, antiseptic and anti-diarrheal properties. Carob has soothing, mucilaginous qualities that shield mucous membranes from irritating substances.

In France, some early research indicates that Carob may be helpful in stimulating inactive kidneys and may be effective in cases of chronic kidney failure.
