Frequently Asked Questions

How does Carob flour support gut health?

Carob flour contains 39.8g of fiber per 100g (142% DV). Fiber feeds beneficial gut bacteria, which produce short-chain fatty acids (butyrate) that reduce inflammation, strengthen the gut barrier, and improve insulin sensitivity. The high fiber content also slows glucose absorption, reducing insulin spikes.

Does Carob flour affect hormones?

Yes — Carob flour is rich in fiber (142% DV), which Binds excess estrogen in gut for excretion (enterohepatic circulation interruption). Slows glucose absorption → lower insulin spikes.. fiber supports Estrogen and Insulin production. sugar supports Insulin and Cortisol production. vitamin b6 supports Progesterone and Dopamine production.

Is Carob flour good for blood pressure?

Yes. Carob flour provides 827mg of potassium per 100g (18% DV). Potassium helps lower blood pressure by counteracting sodium's effects and relaxing blood vessel walls. The sodium-to-potassium ratio is 23.6.

Does Carob flour contain anti-nutrients?

Phytates (especially in whole grains — bind zinc, iron, calcium). Lectins (wheat germ agglutinin — reduced by cooking). Sourdough fermentation reduces phytates 70-90%. Soaking + cooking helps. Yeast fermentation (bread) partially breaks down phytates. Whole grains have more nutrients but also more phytates — the net effect is still positive.

How filling is Carob flour?

Carob flour has a satiety score of 10.0/10. The 39.8g fiber adds bulk and slows digestion. This makes it effective for appetite control between meals.
