Sincerely, Nadezhda Karacheva

You are allergic to classic chocolate or cocoa and are looking for an alternative solution? Or you just want to try a “different” taste of cocoa and chocolate with reduced fat content, but increased consumption calcium?

Carob is a healthy version of your favorite treat. Carob is used to produce a powder or, using a rather complex process, an excellent syrup (Charoupomelo), mentioned by European travelers since the 16th century, who were delighted with its sweetness and pleasant taste.

Therefore, let's look at carob syrup - how to take it and why - as well as other products made from it.

"Cypriot black gold"

The main distributor of syrup today is Cyprus. This natural delicacy is called “Cypriot black gold”, since it is a significant source of income for this island (like oil for the UAE).

This is not the only connection with gold. The grains contained in the pods have an unusually stable weight (0.2 g). From the weight of the seeds, a unit of weight, the carat, was established in ancient times to indicate the purity of the gold or the weight of the precious stones. The word "carat" comes from the Arabic name for the grain of the carob tree.

About the tree

Ceratonia siliqua (Tsaregrad horns, Ceratonia pod) is a family of legumes.
Carob, from which pods are obtained, and then grains (beans), reaches a height of 10-15 m.

The main places of growth are the Mediterranean regions. Where else does the tropical carob tree grow? Ceratonia pod loves sun, warmth and dryness, but at the same time can cope with frosts of -5°C. Therefore, it grows in Northern and South America, Africa, Middle East...

The pods that contain the beans grow to approximately 15-20 cm. The beans are most often used as a cocoa substitute in Food Industry. We are talking about carob black gold gum - food additive E-410.

The collection takes place from August to October. During flowering, the pods have green colors(similar to the beans we know), they dry for several months on the trees - the color darkens during the drying process. Depending on this, it is necessary to evaluate optimal time collection, because thorough drying is very important.

It is not allowed to use any artificial thermal processes for harvesting, the entire process must be natural. Raw materials should not become damp, otherwise there is a risk of mold attack and, therefore, depreciation.

For the same reason, it is important to pay attention to storage conditions - raw materials should be stored away from moisture and sunlight.

Active substances

Carob does not contain caffeine or other substances that activate effects in the brain, so it is suitable for children, the elderly, and people with cardiovascular diseases. In its homeland in the Mediterranean, Constantinople horns are also used as livestock feed.

Evergreen ceratonia, reaching a height of 10 meters, covers rocky slopes and gorges, and is found in evergreen oak, juniper and pine forests of the Mediterranean. Spain, Italy, America, India, Greece are countries where carob is cultivated. Cypri Levant supplies the best Constantinople pods. They are slightly inferior to the beans collected by the Spaniards and Italians.

The mighty trunk of the tree is covered with bark of brown and dark gray shades, and twisted branches and twigs extend from it in all directions. The wide crown of ceratonia is formed by dense feathery leaves. Seven-year-old trees begin to bloom vigorously. Flowers with inconspicuous, rapidly falling calyxes without corollas are collected in purple-red clusters.

Rocky soils affected the development of the root system of St. John's bread. The carob tree has roots that are powerful and tenacious, with many branches in the crevices and cracks that penetrate the infertile lands.

The tree is cultivated for its fruits - indehiscent beans that look like horns, beautiful and very hard wood, suitable for carpentry. The horn-shaped pods, growing up to 30 cm in length, are filled with medium-sized round seeds and juicy pulp rich in sugars.

Nutritional value of ceratonia beans

Carob is rich in natural sugars, proteins, minerals, vitamins, fats and fibers. The benefit of fiber is that it slowly converts sugars during digestion. Pods containing up to 50% sugars - an incredible source energy nutrition(100 g - 315 kcal).

The saturation of sweet beans with proteins is such that when mixing cereals with ceratonia flour, nutritious mixtures are obtained. Such products are equivalent in value to animal proteins.

Benefits of ceratonia fruits

Ceratonia beans are rich in fibrin, pectin and lignin. These substances, having a special effect on the intestinal flora, reduce the number of pathogenic microorganisms, which leads to the growth of colonies of beneficial lactobacilli. Pectin is a well-known thickener, along with a laxative effect, and has a coagulating and bactericidal effect.

It prevents the appearance of benign and malignant tumors. It is used to remove heavy metals and radioactive substances from the body. Thanks to it, the level of “bad” cholesterol drops. Pectin is involved in the formation of cell membranes and helps protect the mucous membranes lining the intestines.

Carob has found application in jewelry. The resin that flowed down the trunks of trees that grew in South American lands for tens of millions of years turned into amber. In Atlantic amber, pure as a tear, incredible amount inclusions. It is recognized as the most valuable jewelry material. The extraction of the Atlantic (Haitian or Dominican) mineral is carried out using the artisanal method. Makeshift mines have been built in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Mexico.

Tsaregrad horns have an interesting use. Their seeds became the standard for weighing precious metals and stones. The absolute uniformity of the shape and weight of the seeds made them a unique and reliable example of trade.

Even in pagan Rome, the seeds became a kind of “weights”, having the same weight - 0.189 g. Using unique quality seeds, jewelers invented an unshakable measure that allows them to determine the mass of stones and metals - the carat (from the Greek keratos - “horn”).

Properties and uses of gum

Locust bean gum - extracted from the juice of beans. The chain of this polymer includes molecules represented by residues of various monosaccharides. The powder belonging to food additives and practically no aroma, yellowish-white color.

Heating, salty and acidic environments do not destroy the properties of the thickener. The stabilizer is characterized by high viscosity. To dissolve it, you need water whose temperature is not lower than 85 o C. It turns all kinds of liquids into jelly.

During the cooling process of the thickener, for which the carob fruit is ground, ice crystals form at a slower pace, promoting the formation of a structured gel. Gum allows cheeses, yoghurts and other dairy products to retain their shape.

It is added to bakery products, sauces, frozen desserts, canned vegetables, fish and mushrooms. In addition to the food industry, the stabilizer is widely used in cosmetology and pharmaceuticals. It is added to anti-aging creams, serums, gels and medicines.
