Organic Carob Pods: The Lost Treasure of Crete
Carob has been a cherished part of human consumption for centuries. Known as the "Egyptian Fig" by ancient Greeks, it was also consumed by the Romans for its natural sweetness. In Crete, carob trees flourish in arid conditions, naturally resistant to pests and diseases, making them ideal for organic cultivation. These trees take 15 years to bear their first fruit but can yield up to a ton of beans in a single harvest.
The organic carob pods we offer are a testament to nature's resilience and Crete's rich agricultural heritage. Dark, glossy brown when mature, each pod is a powerhouse of nutrition. Carob is rich in protein, vitamins A, B, B2, B3, and D, and essential minerals like calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium. It's a healthy alternative to cocoa, being caffeine-free and devoid of substances that can trigger migraines or allergic reactions. Moreover, carob is gluten-free, making it a perfect treat for those with celiac disease.
Embrace the authentic taste and myriad health benefits of our organic carob pods, a true reflection of Crete's natural bounty.
