It has to be admitted that both among people passionate about cooking and among those who cook only now and then, there are plenty who don't know what carob is or how to use it. The familiar cocoa powder is far more popular. The latter is sure to be found in almost every kitchen, since you can quickly make a thick, warming drink from it on a dreary evening, and it can be added to baked goods and desserts. But sometimes you have to think about buying a substitute — a product with the right qualities, yet special in some way. It's mainly people who limit their caffeine intake who think about a substitute. But don't forget that carob pods contain gum, a natural thickener. Confectioners are sometimes interested in the properties of this gelling substance. Recipes for dishes with carob are of interest to those for whom chocolate or cocoa in general is off-limits. In particular, the pods of this Mediterranean-cultivated tree yield a drink that tastes every bit as good as ordinary cocoa; cupcakes, pies, cakes, candies, pancakes, protein shakes, and smoothies come out no less appetizing. Carob can be a lifesaver during dieting for those aiming to shed extra pounds — it's less caloric than cocoa.
