Carob powder

Carob powder is made from the pods of the carob tree and is used as a powdered food ingredient. The figures here describe samples from the same brand. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 37g per 100g, of which 31g is sugars. It also provides 4.9g of protein and 390mg of calcium per 100g.

Calcium contributes to the maintenance of bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. The sugar content is worth noting for people monitoring their sugar intake, particularly when carob powder is combined with other sweetened ingredients. The nutritional content of a prepared food or drink will also depend on those other ingredients and the amount of powder used. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (2 samples of the same brand). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: LFRA, Nutrient analysis of miscellaneous foods, 1992.
