Roasted carob powder is a natural and sustainable product derived from carob pods. With its excellent organoleptic properties and high natural sugar content, it serves as an ideal alternative to coffee and cocoa, which have seen exponential price increases in recent months. This makes it a sustainable and versatile choice for various industrial applications.

Key Features

Sustainability: Roasted carob powder is a by-product obtained from carob pod husks. Following the upcycling principle, a waste product is transformed into a valuable ingredient.

Reusing food loss and food waste reduces business costs and is promoted with new marketing strategies inspired by the sustainability of food production and consumption.
