Carob's Benefits

Cancer Preventer: The polyphenolic content of carob makes it an ideal antioxidant, and carob germ flour, another byproduct of this useful plant, has been directly associated with cytotoxic activity in the body.

Diabetes Management: In comparison to regular chocolate, carob has considerably less sugar, a fraction of the fat content, and only 1/3 of the calories. It can help prevent spikes in blood sugar and be a safe dietary choice for diabetics.

Improved Digestion: As a rich source of dietary fiber, carob can help the digestive activities of the body. Fiber bulks up bowel movements and stimulates regularity, as well as the secretion of gastric juices and peristaltic motion.

Weight loss Aid : The fiber found in carob is somewhat special, in that it inhibits the secretion of postprandial ghrelin, a hormone that tells the body that it is hungry, occasionally released after eating.

Healthy Cardiovascular System: Carob fiber is a special thing, and it has been shown to be highly effective against high cholesterol.
