Presentation of Healthy Eating Alternatives: When consumed, carob helps slow the rise of blood sugar due to its relatively low glycemic index. This characteristic demonstrates that it can be a better alternative, particularly for diabetes patients and individuals conscious about healthy eating.
Environmental Impact: With its resilience to arid conditions, carob can be a sustainable option for agriculture in areas where water and other natural resources are limited. This can lead to more efficient use of water resources and a reduction in environmental impact.
Economic Development: The development of new products can provide local producers with opportunities for additional income, thereby supporting regional development.
Consumer Diversity and Innovation: Introducing new products to the market offers consumers more choices and promotes food innovation. Carob-based spreadable products can be considered a healthy alternative to traditional sweeteners.
