Roasted Carob Pods: Valued since biblical times as a nutritious, naturally sweet food, carob pods are often used today as a healthy substitute for chocolate. Carob's anti-diarrheal properties were discovered by a Spanish physician who observed that children of the poorer class ate large quantities of carob pods and had less digestive problems than children of the wealthy, even though their living conditions were less hygienic. Studies since have confirmed carob's effectiveness in resolving infantile diarrhea safely. Carob is high in calcium and Vitamin A and is rich in dietary fiber (26%) and polyphenols (21%) - those same anti-oxidant compounds found in tea that are receiving so much media attention.
