About Carob flour
Carob flour comes from dried, ground carob pods and is predominantly carbohydrate, with fiber accounting for a large share of that total. Protein and fat are both low. It has a naturally sweet, chocolate-adjacent flavor without any actual cocoa, and is sometimes used as a caffeine-free cocoa substitute in baked goods. The high fiber content does affect texture in recipes, so it rarely swaps directly with cocoa powder at a one-to-one ratio.
