These dried and hard carobs are also known as St. John’s Bread because, according to tradition of some Christians, St. John the Baptist subsisted on them in the wilderness. Carob pods are considered to be a remarkable antidiarrheal. Carob is said to be high in fiber and rich in one class of tannins (polyphenols) that manifest strong antiviral and antiseptic properties.
There are approximately 18-20 in a pound.
***PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF THE HARD SEEDS INSIDE THE POD. THEY ARE NOT EDIBLE***
Ingredients:
Carob (contains inedible hard seeds/pits) Packaged in the same facility as peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, sesame, and milk products.

My 91 year old mom recently told me about St John's Bread - a special treat when she was child. I skeptically ordered 2 pounds for her. She was beyond happy as if transported back in time! ",,,just like when I was a little girl!" Super fresh and very tasty! We are now exploring recipes.
