This is a natural product used as a gelling agent, stabilizer or emulsifier in ice-cream, dessert fruit filling and salads. Hope that helps !

I still love it today, but I have a hard time finding it. My local natural grocer carries a few carob ingredients, but not the variety available at the natural food stores in my hometown. Plus, it's insanely expensive, and requires that I do all my own baking... it's only available in chips or powder, and maybe one or two snack items to choose from. Is there an Internet source for *affordable* carob items that can be mail ordered? -Elizabeth I grew up on carob because I was deathly allergic to chocolate as a child (hospitalized when I was two for eating M&Ms!!).
