What Is Carob?

Carob is a flowering evergreen tree that is native to the Meditteranean, its edible ripe pod contains a sweet pulp that is dried, roasted and ground into a powder.

I love to eat these delicious yummies. They are simple to make and perfect for curbing sugar cravings, they are made with dates instead of sugar. Whole natural goodness.

I also used carob instead of chocolate for its many nutritional benefits and to eliminate the stimulating effects of chocolate.

If you have never tried carob it is definitely worth a try, I always say I’ll try at least once if its fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts or seeds.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dates, pitted and soaked 1 hour
• 1 cup walnut, soaked 1 hour
• 2 tablespoon carob powder
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
• Any topping you prefer, carob, nuts, coconut flakes, chopped nuts

Directions:

Process dates and walnut in a food processor until they are crumbly and they start sticking together. Add carob powder and maple syrup, process until mixture clumps together.

Transfer into a bowl and form into balls, then roll into the topping of your choice. Place on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and refrigerate to hard.
