Carob has a negligible amount of fat, zero cholesterol, is low in calories, high in fiber, and has no caffeine or oxalic acid (the latter is a naturally occurring substance found in chocolate and other foods that inhibits the body’s absorption of calcium). This is also why carob is safe for dogs to each, while chocolate is not. Ruiz-Aceituno, L.; Rodríguez-Sánchez, S.; Ruiz-Matute, A.I.; Ramos, L.; Soria, A.C.; Sanz, M.L.

In Lebanon the molasse is called debs el kharrub (literally: molasse of the carob), but people generally shorten it to debs. The molasse has a sweet, chocolate-like flavor. It is commonly mixed with tahini (typically 75% kharrub molasses and 25% tahini). The resulting mixture is called debs bi tahini and is eaten raw or with bread. The molasse is also used in certain cakes. [55] The region of Iqlim al-Kharrub, which translates to the region of the carob, produces a significant amount of carob.

[19] They prefer well-drained, sandy loams and are intolerant of waterlogging, but the deep root systems can adapt to a wide variety of soil conditions and are fairly salt-tolerant (up to 3% in soil). [19] After being irrigated with saline water in the summer, carob trees could possibly recover during winter rainfalls. [26] In some experiments, young carob trees were capable of basic physiological functions under high salt conditions (40mmol NaCl/L). [26]

[19] [35] Carob pulp is sold either as flour or "chunks". [35] The flour of the carob embryo (seed) can also be used for human and animal nutrition, [19] but the seed is often separated before making carob powder (see section on locust bean gum below).
