Chocolate.... think again.
This tasty morsel is actually called carob and is part of the pea family.
It has strong similarities to chocolate yet is much much healthier, as carob is naturally sweeter than cocoa so it doesn't require the added sugar. Carob is also caffeine free, handy for light sleepers like myself.
It has the same melt it your mouth feel, but a distinctly different taste.
Next time you go to reach for chocolate give carob a try or even substitute it for cocoa.
I've also used it several times, it's a great replacement for chocolate.
