I originally bought it as a caffeine-free alternative to cocoa, and now it’s become a regular part of my kitchen. It has this naturally sweet, roasted flavor that feels so comforting.I use it in a lot of different ways—mixed with warm oat milk and a touch of cinnamon for an evening drink, blended into smoothies for a chocolatey taste without the caffeine, or even baked into muffins and pancakes for my daughter. She loves the taste and doesn’t even realize it’s not chocolate. It’s gentle on my stomach and doesn’t give me the jitters like cocoa sometimes does.I also love that it’s packed with fiber and doesn’t need any added sugar. It feels like such a nourishing choice, especially for our little family. This is one of those pantry staples I’m really glad I tried—it’s a small change that’s made a big difference.

Tastes sweet. I can't have cocoa powder due to it making me anxious. This works perfectly.

I expected this powder to be sweeter and more like chocolate or cocoa, but it was not! We wanted to use this as a healthier substitute for cocoa in our coffee lattes. Carob powder adds little sweetness and a strange flavor of its own to coffee but half carob and half cocoa tastes quite pleasant. We noticed that the carob powder can be difficult to dissolve and leaves quite a bit of sediment in the bottom of the cup unless you heat coffee to about 180'F or nearly boiling, so if you like to add milk, you might want to add that last. Thanks to the other reviewers that warned us about the "Resealable Bag" which is an accident waiting to happen. We suggest transferring some carob powder to a small condiment jar next to your cocoa and put a large binder clip on the top of the bag. Recently we tried sprinkling the carob powder on top of vanilla ice cream and it was delicious!

Since I am diabetic I use 1/2 teaspoon in my coffee with my no sugar added creamer for a hot chocolate fix!

I started using carob in place of much of the cocoa powder in my recipes to reduce oxalate consumption. Cocoa is high in oxalates, an antinutrient that can build up in your body and cause pain, according to my research. Carob has very little to no oxalates and, depending upon the recipe, is a really good substitute for cocoa. Of course, it doesn't taste precisely like cocoa; it is missing that depth of flavor found in chocolate. Powdered carob behaves much like cocoa in a recipe; it dissolves more readily in warm liquids, whereas it tends to float on top of cold ones. It can be used 1:1 to replace cocoa.

He loves this and could tell the difference when I switched brands.
