Sweet Carob Organic 40gr

Locust bean flour is derived from the tree Ceratonia siliqua, a tree leguminaceae that is widespread throughout the Mediterranean and North Africa. This tree produces brown, leathery pods, 15 to 30 cm long, which are harvested and processed into a fine, aromatic powder.

Locust bean flour is ideal for making bread, pizza, fresh homemade pasta and baked goods. It gives the dough a slight hint of chocolate and a natural brown color. It is recommended to add it to cereal flours in a proportion ranging from 5 percent up to 10 percent for best results.
