Evidence Summary

Carob powder comes from the dried pods of the carob tree, native to the Mediterranean. It contains insoluble fiber, a compound called D-pinitol, and polyphenols like gallic acid, catechin, and quercetin. One small randomized crossover trial in 15 healthy men found that a 30 g carob powder drink produced significantly lower blood glucose and insulin levels at 30 minutes compared to a sucrose drink — suggesting it may help moderate the body's sugar response after eating. Animal research also shows carob consumption alters gut metabolites, though what this means for human health is unclear.
