Carob Molasses or Dibs el Kharroub is oh so tasty...


To show you how popular and yummy it is, I decided to quote!

The Yum-oh! Blog:

Ever since discovering Carob Molasses, it has been the referred to by our group of friends as the original Secret Ingredient, because we started using it in and on absolutely everything - from pancakes to salad dressing – and people's first reaction is always: Yum-oh! – what’s that?!”


The Cupcake Project blog:

I knew I wanted carob in my Teeccino-inspired cupcakes. However, I hadn't decided on which form to use. I knew of carob powder and carob chips, but the grocery I was at only had carob molasses. I figured that would have to do.
[...] In Lebanon, carob molasses was traditionally used as an alternative to sugar. Mixed and served with tahina or sesame paste, for example, it is still eaten as a dessert called dibs bi tahina.

Carob and Health:

Apart from the health benefits obtained by substituting Carob for Cocoa and synthetic sweeteners in our diet, Carob also has excellent nutritional value. Along with up to 80% protein, it contains Magnesium, Calcium, Iron, Phosphorus, Potassium Manganese, Barium, Copper, Nickel and the vitamins A, B, B2, B3, and D. It also has medicinal uses including the treatment of coughs and diarrhea.


Our fair trade Carob Molasses is made by a cooperative in the South. 12 hard-working women get together for the production process. The syrup is mechanically extracted from the carob fruit. No sugar nor coloring are added. So as described above, carob molasses seems to be your ultimate secret ingredient: a natural liquid sugar, a great addition to cakes and sweets, also very tasty when spread over pita bread or mixed with tahini and spread over toast!
