carobs
Mediterranean legume pods
Carobs are the pods of a Mediterranean evergreen tree, or the trees themselves.
The pods contain a sweet, edible pulp that can be dried and ground into a powder used as a chocolate substitute: The recipe calls for carob chips instead of chocolate.
Carob lacks caffeine and is sometimes marketed as a health food.
