This really raw, carob powder is so smooth it makes your desserts and smoothies burst with flavor without the grainy taste of some other carob powders. I use this in all my raw recipes that call for carob!
Really Raw Carob Powder 2lb bag
What is Carob powder?
Carob powder is made from the pods of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua.) The pods are ground into a powdered form and used as a chocolate substitute. Carob pods have vitamin A, B vitamins and several important minerals. They are a good source of potassium. Carob has only one-third the calories of chocolate and is virtually fat-free; chocolate is half fat. Carob is rich in pectin, is non-allergenic, has abundant protein and has no oxalic acid (which chocolate has), which interferes with absorption of calcium.
Alissa's recipe for Fudge Balls:
I carried these around with me for the entire first year I was raw. If I had a craving, I’d just “pop” a fudge ball. These are amazingly fudgy; rich enough to satisfy the most passionate chocoholic!
2 cups dates, pitted and soaked
2 cups almond butter
1/2 cup carob power
1. In a food processor, blend the dates to a smooth paste.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth.
3. Remove from processor and form into round balls.
Note: These will keep for a long time in the refrigerator.
