Carrube

Le carrube (or carobs) are the fruits of the carob tree, a flowering evergreen shrub in the pea family.

Carobs are rich of sugars, carbs, calcium and iron, and virtually fat-, cholesterol-, and caffeine-free. They are considered to have anti-oxidant and hypo-cholesterolemiant properties.

Apparently, they taste like cacao.

Donkeys love them!
