Product Overview

Siesta Carob Drops are popular with health and whole food movements because the natural sweetness of carob makes it an easy basis for confectionery without any addition of sugar.

Delicious, sugar-free desserts and bakes are made easy with Siesta Carob Drops.
As well as its sweetness, carob also lacks natural bitterness, unlike other foodstuffs with a similar production process, such as coffee or chocolate.

A caramel note to the flavour and the ease with which it melts make Siesta Carob Drops a great choice for any application where chocolate would usually be used.

Try sprinkling Siesta Carob Drops over a bowl of ice-cream for a little textural variety, or eat them straight out of the bag with a clear conscience, knowing that you’re not dumping a load of excess sugar into your system.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are Siesta Carob Drops made?

Produced from the Ceratoma Siliqua tree, Carob powder is made when the sweet pulp in the pod is dried, roasted and ground to a powder. The strength of the flavour relies on the strength and the length of the roasting; more roast, stronger carob flavour.

Carob powder is naturally processed to produce a variety of textures and styles of carob product. Siesta Carob Drops are one example, perfect for carob-drop cookies, carob brownies, melting for baking carob cakes or just as a treat on their own, straight from the bag.
