Before revealing benefits of carob, it fitting to specify that we use this ingredient in all products of our dogs ranges for its own peculiarities.
In fact, carob is the flattened pod-shaped fruit of the carob, a typical plant of the two big islands of Southern Italy (Sicily and Sardinia) originate from Palestine, whose fruits have a very high nutritional value. In addition to its natural anti-diarrheal properties, carob contain high percentages of mineral salts, such as potassium, calcium, sodium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, selenium and iron. It also contain many vitamins such as B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12, vitamin C, vitamin E, K and J and dietary folates.

In addition to the features already discussed, we can list another special property of carob: it is a satiating food highly recommended in low-calorie diets for humans. Each 100 grams of carob absorbs about 250 calories and 23 grams of fiber. The moderate consumption acts with the activity of digestive enzymes; more specifically, it stimulates the sense of satiety and facilitates the intestinal regularity thanks to the considerable amount of dietary fiber.
Furthermore, carob fruit is gluten-free and can be consumed in a gluten-free diet. It is also ideal for high-end products for dogs.

We can list further benefits of carob: it has been shown that the polyphenols (quercetin, gallic acid and delphinidin) have anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic properties.
The high fiber content is associated with a very low glycemic intake. The tannins in the pulp have a deep ‘cleaning’ action in the intestine against bacteria that attack intestinal cells. For this reason, they are considered a strong natural anti-diarrheal.

It can withstand up to 400 years and is able to produce fruit for the whole of its life. It also boasts an important feature for the environment: thanks to its deep roots, it is able to strengthen arid soils and contrast desertification.
