Carob

Carob is a plant that has become popular in recent years with its healing properties and being a source of energy. In fact, before refined sugar entered human life, it is known as a common plant used as a sweetener in kitchens with its natural sugar content. Even before ready-made chocolates came into our lives, children growing up in the Aegean and Mediterranean used to chew carob fruits from trees instead of chocolate bars.

Today, it is widely used as extract, molasses or flour. In these forms, it is generally used in recipes as a sweetener instead of refined sugar or cocoa. Carob extract can also be consumed as a sauce or by drinking it directly.

Traditionally, molasses is boiled for long hours, and in some regions, refined sugar is added to thicken it. As a result of boiling, HMF (hydroxymethyl furfural), a carcinogenic substance, appears in molasses. The boiling process applied in traditional molasses production is replaced by the process of evaporating the excess water under vacuum in the production of Kocamaar Carob Extract. Thus, the essence does not boil and can be used safely in cooking recipes.

Another issue is the phrase "cold pressed", which is frequently seen in the market. When the carob fruit is squeezed, there is no possibility of any liquid coming out. In fact, those who are familiar with the fruit, know this. Carob extract is a product extracted with water and gets its consistency with heat. The important thing here is that it is not boiled as described above, instead it is produced by evaporating excess water at low temperature and, if possible, under vacuum.

Carob, which is a fruit rich in carbohydrates, good fats, also contains many minerals and elements, especially vitamins A, C and E, zinc, selenium, potassium, magnesium. Especially with the help of high zinc, vitamins and minerals it contains, its immune system support feature makes it an indispensable part of our lives in winter.
