Description

Carob molasses

Dibs el kharrub or Carob Molasses is a thick and dense syrup produced by soaking milled carob seeds in water and reducing the extracted liquid.
The carob tree “Ceratonia Silica” has a history of use dating back to ancient times. It is also known as St John’s bread for it is said that John the Baptist survived in the desert by eating carob. Moreover, the seeds of carob are reputed to have all exactly the same weight and they were used by diamond jewelers who agreed that the weight of one seed would be equal to one carat. It appears that the word “carat” comes from “carob”.
Traditionally, carob molasses was used as an alternative to sugar in Lebanon. Mixed and served with tahini or sesame paste, for example, it is still eaten as a dessert called “dibs bi tahini”
