Carob is used in the same manner as cocoa powder, and can be sprinkled on food or taken as a tea, extract, or capsule. Raw carob is usually perceived as having a bitter flavor which is lessened significantly by the roasting process. For this reason, the roasted product is more popular for food use. If substituting for cocoa, replace with equal measure. As a chocolate replacement, use 3 tablespoons for each square of unsweetened chocolate.
