Cocoa is extracted from the dried and fermented seed of the Theobroma cacao tree; these seeds are called cocoa beans. It is this cocoa that is the basis for chocolate and lots of other delicious goods. 

Carob powder is made by grinding the dried pods of the Mediterranean evergreen tree and can be used as an alternative to raw cocoa powder. Both ingredients are packed with goodness and have many applications in the kitchen. 

The origins of cocoa and carob

Although carob has been cultivated in the Mediterranean since the late 1800s, it dates as far back as Ancient Egypt. In fact, a carob pod represented the word for sweet in Egyptian hieroglyphs and was believed to have been used as a sticky resin when binding mummies. 

Cocoa, however, was first cultivated in ancient South America and was introduced to Europe during the Age of Exploration. It wasn't until the 1850s that it started being mass-produced after the introduction of steam-powered machines. 

Today, our cocoa products are largely cultivated in Europe, although our cocoa butter comes from Ghana. For example, our cocoa nibs come from Germany, our wholesale chocolate drops from The Netherlands and our carob powder comes from Spain. 

The benefits of organic cocoa and carob

We often associate cocoa with chocolate and desserts, which we understand must be eaten in moderation as they can be unhealthy. However, cocoa and carob are actually packed with nutrients and have a whole range of health benefits.

organic cocoa powder

Organic cocoa powder has tons of benefits and is packed with nutrients, including minerals such as iron, zinc, selenium and magnesium. It can contribute to a stronger immune system, and best of all, if you're feeling sad or low, cocoa powder can be a huge mood booster - and not just because chocolate tastes delicious. 

organic carob powder

Organic carob powder has twice the amount of calcium as cocoa; it is also high in fibre and a good source of antioxidants. It is also gluten, caffeine and fat-free, making it a healthier alternative to cocoa.

uses of cocoa and carob

There are lots of ways that organic cocoa and carob powder can be used; the same also applies to cocoa butter, cocoa nibs and our other cocoa products. 

Carob power can be added to smoothies, yoghurt or ice cream to add flavour as well as to boost its nutritional value. It can also be added to batter or dough for the same effect, used in baking and desserts, and finally added to hot drinks. 

Of course, organic cocoa can serve many of the same functions as carob, particularly when used in baking or added to hot drinks or smoothies. Cocoa nibs can be a welcome addition to oatmeal, trail mixes and granola for a healthy snack. Finally, pure organic cocoa butter can be used in many cosmetics and skincare products. 

Depending on the nature of your business, you may not be cooking with these goods. These organic ingredients can also be sold as they come in refill and health food stores, particularly products like cocoa nibs and powder. And buying cocoa wholesale from DO IT ORGANIC means you will have enough carob or cocoa products for all your business needs.
