Michael and Jam Jolley saw it as a chance to pursue their dream of having a sustainable, organic carob orchard. So they bought the land and planted a select variety of sweet carob trees – 6,000 total – that are now thriving with no pesticides or insecticides.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eThe carob pods are harvested in March and April and are taken directly to the manufacturing facility on site.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e“As we do all the growing, harvesting, kibbling, roasting, milling and packing right here on our property, we can ensure that you get a non-contaminated product that’s nut-free, gluten-free and GMO free,” Michael said. “It’s absolutely the cleanest, most flavorful carob you’ll find anywhere.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eCarob is commonly used as a substitute for chocolate. It’s naturally sweet, so unlike cocoa it doesn’t need any additional sugar. It’s also free of caffeine and methyxanthines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eCarob has been used to treat stomach problems ever since the biblical days of John the Baptist. The tannins in carob help prevent harmful bacteria from growing in the intestine, and the natural sugars in carob can help treat diarrhea. It’s a good source of fiber, vitamin E, Thiamin, potassium and it’s full of antioxidants.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eThe Australian Carob Co. believes our carob products are the sweetest in the global market without the strong bitter taste normally associated with European\/Mediterranean carob powders and products. We take pride in ensuring each individual tree has the appropriate water requirements and correct pruning year round.
