About Carob pod
A carob pod is the elongated fruit of the carob tree, with a firm outer shell and sweet, fibrous pulp surrounding several hard seeds. Mature pods are generally dark brown; their pulp is chewy when fresh and becomes drier and harder as it cures.
The pods can be eaten or processed by separating the pulp from the seeds, then drying and grinding it into meal or powder. Whole pods and milled pulp are distinct forms. The pulp has a naturally sweet, mildly toasted flavour, while the seeds are hard and are not equivalent to the edible pod pulp.
