A food additive, which may result in allergy symptoms in sensitised individuals.
Carob is an evergreen tree probably native to the Middle East. It is related to Mesquite, Acacia and Tragacanth trees. Cultivated since antiquity in hot, semiarid regions, it serves as an important forage crop. The Greeks diffused it in Greece and Italy, but it was afterwards more highly esteemed by the Arabs. The products of the tree, especially the powder from the pods, are in widespread use both near the tree's habitats and throughout the industrialised world.
The sugary, edible pods produced by some species resemble Locusts-hence the name Locust bean. As St John the Baptist fed on "honey and locusts", the pod also became known as St John's bread.
Carob/Carob gum may uncommonly induce symptoms of food allergy in sensitised individuals.
