Carob contains a type of carbohydrate from the seeds of the carob tree. Flour is made from the seeds of carob fruit. The flour swells and becomes viscous when mixed with water, making it ideal as a stabiliser and thickening agent in food. Try adding carob when you prepare bread to get a soft and supple dough.
