carob
Cocoa's healthier cousin
Carob is a pod from a Mediterranean evergreen tree, dried and ground into a powder used as a chocolate substitute.
It has a naturally sweet, somewhat earthy flavor without caffeine or the bitterness of cocoa: carob chips, carob brownies.
Health food stores stock carob products for those avoiding chocolate, though devotees of real chocolate rarely find it satisfying.
