    I'm from Malta and the same happened here during the war because the island was under siege and no food was getting in. So people where surviving on carobs, dates, figs and whatever they could find in the countryside. And I have three big carob trees in my families land

    Thanks for the information and history lesson. I used to get these as a child in school on some holidays, and just eat them dried as a treat. I forgot about them for many years and recently found them again at the middle eastern grocery here in TN. They are actually imported from Turkey by an american company called "Mr. Nut" out of New Jersey ( for any one looking in the US).

    Thanks for the video. I love carob and have to import as I live in New Zealand. My excuse. My grandparents were born in Dalmatia where carob grew in abundance but I didn't learn that until after I had formed my love affair with carob. Interesting huh!?

    In the city of Denver in North America, my neighbor had a carob bean tree. Some carob trees have small seeds and other carob trees have big seeds. Are carob pods with small black seeds poisonous? Will most people die in less than a week if they eat small black seeds? Are the big red seeds more edible? I wish I could post a photograph, but the youtube comment section does not allow pictures.

    How can I grow in the uk?!! Or not possible? And I’ve noticed that buying the powder in the uk that some carob is sweeter than others. Is that your experience in Greece? How can I know which is the sweetest?

      Jaybird196 In the parts of the US that have a Mediterranean climate. Carob can grow most of the way up the CA coast and a bit inland. It can also grow in some places in AZ but needs a lot more irrigation there. It does not do well in places that get much frost or that get humid heat. I think there are some folks that grow it in FL but it doesn't do as well there.

    • @Jaybird196

      spidrawebster Well, that is unfortunate, as I live in Tennessee, ATM. Our weather sounds as though, it wouldn't support them. Thank you.

    I thought there was going to be useful information about harvesting, drying, making powder... Nothing like that.

    Is it greek 😂 why have we been using carob in Anatolia and Mesopotamia for 5000 years? You meet some produce because of greek culture (like rakıa, beer, wine, turkish yogurt...) but u dont know where are their origin. Ignoranceness! Origins are Mesopotamia!

      Feel free to make your own informative video. (Gee Whiz. He just was sharing how folks survived the 40’s because of the carob growing there. It is allowed to grow and be relevant in more than one location.)

      Wtf is your problem bro. If it was in mesopotamia, was not allowed to grow in Greece as well? And let's say it grew only in mesopotamia, which is not true, what the fuck you gain from this. It makes you more proud? come on all this things are ridiculous

      There weren't Turks in Anatolia until around 1000 years ago - who do you think was there eating carobs before they arrived? Who do you think was in Anatolia since 2nd Millenium BC?
