About the product

Helpa Bio Organic Carob Powder is made from ground, seedless pods of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) – a plant that has been cultivated for thousands of years in the Mediterranean region. Origin: certified organic farms in Spain; a single-ingredient product with no additives.

Unlike cocoa, carob has a naturally sweet taste, free from caffeine and theobromine – making it a convenient alternative for those avoiding stimulants. High fibre content (36 g/100 g – over six times the threshold set by Regulation 1924/2006) and the fruit’s natural sugars (38 g/100 g) provide sweetness without the need for added sugar. It can be used interchangeably with cocoa in the same proportions.

• 100% carob from organic farms in Spain – single-ingredient, certified organic
• Caffeine- and theobromine-free – a cocoa alternative for those avoiding stimulants
• Naturally sweet – 38 g of fruit sugars per 100 g, less need for sweetening
• High fibre content – 36 g/100 g (Regulation 1924/2006: ≥6 g met)
• No flavourings, colourings, added sugar or preservatives

Nutritional value

Usage

A substitute for cocoa in cooking – for porridge, cereals, cakes, biscuits, puddings, smoothies and drinks. It also works well in cream and chocolate desserts. The practical zip-lock packaging extends the product’s shelf life. Product for cooking and baking – not for direct consumption as is.

Directions for use

Use as a substitute for cocoa in the same proportions in recipes. For porridge: 1–2 tablespoons per serving. For chocolate cake: replace cocoa 1:1 (typically 50–80 g for a 24 cm sponge cake). For protein shakes: 1 tablespoon per glass of drink. Carob does not require the same amount of added sugar as cocoa – it is naturally sweet, so you can reduce the amount of sweetener in the recipe.

Storage

Store in a dry place, in a tightly sealed container.
