Origin of CaroChoc
CaroChoc is derived from the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), native to the Mediterranean region. The carob pods are harvested, dried, and ground into a powder that resembles cocoa powder.
History of CaroChoc
Carob has been used for thousands of years, dating back to ancient Egypt, where it was utilized as a sweetener. In the early 20th century, carob became popular as a caffeine-free alternative to chocolate. CaroChoc leverages the natural properties of carob to provide a healthier chocolate substitute.
