Carob is a tropical pod that contains a sweet, edible pulp and inedible seeds. After drying, the pulp is roasted and ground into a powder that resembles cocoa powder, but does not have the same flavor and texture of chocolate.
One tablespoon of unsweetened carob powder has 25 calories, no fat, no saturated fat, no cholesterol, and 6 grams carbohydarates. By comparision, one tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder contains 12 calories, 1 gram of fat, no saturated fat, no cholesterol, and 3 grams of carbohydrates. Carob is caffeine-free and Carob also contains three times as much calcium as cocoa powder.

My name is DeAnna Mayo (affectionately known as 'Cookie'). I am the owner and founder of My Sweet Tooth, LLC. I am a 15 year old entrepreneur who has been in business for one year now...and what an exciting year it has been! I have been baking cookies since I was 13 years old. My business was inspired to provide a healthy alternative snack for individuals who are health conscious, have restrictive diets and also diabetics. I aspire to bring awareness of the harmful preservatives and sugar found in most treats which causes diabetes. This hits home for me because I have family members who struggle with this disease. My desire to help them is driving me to succeed in this business.
My mission is to drive junk food awareness through our communities with my cookies as the entering wedge. Please try for yourself...my very own “secret” recipe for delicious gourmet, guilt-free cookies. You will not be disappointed! Some of my selections are sugar-free so they are diabetic friendly. All selections are dairy-free and they also come with or without nuts. We also offer special orders as well. Please visit my website for additional selections to make your choice.... www.mysweettoothllc.com
Enjoy!
