These dried and hard carobs are also known as St. John’s Bread because, according to tradition of some Christians, St. John the Baptist subsisted on them in the wilderness. Carob pods are considered to be a remarkable antidiarrheal. Carob is said to be high in fiber and rich in one class of tannins (polyphenols) that manifest strong antiviral and antiseptic properties.
There are approximately 18-20 in a pound.
***PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF THE HARD SEEDS INSIDE THE POD. THEY ARE NOT EDIBLE***
Ingredients:
Carob (contains inedible hard seeds/pits) Packaged in the same facility as: Peanuts, Tree Nut, Wheat, Soy, Milk, Sesame, Fish, Shellfish, Egg, and Sulfites.

I've had carob in other forms, but never in its whole form. This stuff is great! Slightly sweet, chewy in a fiber-y way, and fun to gnaw on. (But do be careful about the inedible seeds -- they are incredibly hard -- not something you want to bite down on.) I've only just received my first order, but I will definitely be placing another order when my current stash runs low. This product also has a fun novelty appeal. Offer one of these "breads" to a friend as a treat, and they'll look at you in shock, because it looks like something you'd find on the forest floor. Then you can tell them all about the delights of carob (and nuts.com, too, haha!).
