Import Carob Powder — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in France

Carob powder from Soupin Jean Stephane is a finely milled ingredient derived from the pods of the *Ceratonia siliqua* tree, serving as a direct substitute for cocoa powder in industrial food applications. The product achieves a fine consistency with 98% passing through a 200 mesh sieve, ensuring smooth integration in liquid or dry mixes without grit. It is naturally sweet, caffeine-free, and retains the inherent nutritional profile of carob, including high fiber content and antioxidant properties.

The powder is produced from roasted carob pods, ground to specification without additives, and maintains a consistent flavor profile suitable for baking, confectionery, and beverage formulations. Typical for carob powder, it contains about 40-50% natural sugars (sucrose, fructose, glucose) and 40% fiber by weight, with a standard moisture content of 8-10% to prevent caking. It is inherently gluten-free and vegan, meeting clean-label requirements for health-focused product lines.

Food manufacturers source this carob powder for use in cakes, cookies, energy bars, and plant-based milk alternatives, where its mild sweetness reduces reliance on added sugars. Bulk packaging is designed for industrial handling, and the supplier confirms FOB and CIF shipping terms are available. Buyers should verify the exact particle size distribution and microbiological reports, as these are critical for end-product texture and safety compliance.

Buyers are advised to confirm the supplier’s current verification status and operational capacity directly, as the listing does not provide details on factory audits or third-party certifications.
