### Carob or locust bean

Carob, also known as locust bean, is the fruit of the carob tree (//Ceratonia siliqua//) which is native to the eastern Mediterranean. Its fruits – long dark pods – were already used by the ancient Greeks and Egyptians. The name carob refers to the legend of St. John the Baptist who fed on carob fruits during his stay in the desert.

It is used to obtain, for example, animal feed, moonshine or powder which serves as a substitute for cocoa or flour. Carob syrup is made by cleaning the hand-picked pods, grinding them and leaving them to infuse in water for many hours. Then the leachate is boiled until it reaches the desired density.
