The Australian Carob Co. Pure Raw Carob Kibble Nibbles, Organic

I was a bit worried after reading the reviews, but it's not really *that* chewy. The texture is similar to eating pumpkin seeds with the shells still on: chewy and slightly woody, but not that bad. It's not as chewy as eating sunflower seeds with the shells still on, which I sometimes do. I'd never tried carob before. It's quite sweet, and the flavor reminds me most of raisins and honey. It reminds me a bit of honey graham crackers. I can see the similarity to cocoa, but it lacks most of cocoa's bitterness or fatty mouthfeel, which gives this a very different taste. I can detect a slight bitter aftertaste which tastes to me like something that would perhaps not be in the fresh product, and is probably a result of processing and time, but it's not a big deal. I like this a lot, it's fairly nutritional, and the price isn't bad. I'll probably buy this again.

This is such a yummy snack and can mix it with nuts & seeds as a trail mix. It is naturally sweet and so may think is hard to chew, so you can always soak it to soften. I had the pleasure of reviewing all their products on my channel @TheRawsomeVeganGal, as was in touch with the owner, Michael and sent them to me. I share the benefits of carob, which are many and also made recipes for each product, so definitely check it out, if you want to learn more. I highly recommend all their products - excellent quality, grown, harvested, processed, packaged all by the company. All organic, kosher, vegan, non-GMO, low glycemic and just DELICIOUS!!!

I bought these kibble pod pod pieces by mistake. I had bought this brand's carob powder and really liked it. So, when reordering, I glanced at the packaging that is almost identical to the powder version and ordered it. When I got it, I was surprised, checked and read the Amazon reviews, and most were negative mainly about taste and texture. I wanted to return it but this item is not returnable. So, I decided to try it. Wow, I'm not sure why so many people were negative on it, because I found it to be sweet and good flavored. The texture is crunchy and initially hard, but it becomes soft if you chew it slowly. I rate it 4 stars because I don't think it's a good value. The powder is a better value, but the powder is a for a different use. I think I would definitely order this for a special occasion when, for instance, going backpacking.

No no no. This tastes disgusting. Like chewing a piece of wood. There's no way people are sprinkling this on yogurt. Sorry but absolutely not edible as is.

If you want to discover a new, creative way to eat carob, look no further than Australian Carob Co’s Raw Carob Nibbles. Carob is NOT sweet unless sugar has been added — so don’t expect these to taste like Carob ice cream! — but they have a wonderfully rich, nutty, sweet flavor to them and they are lots of fun to chew on! Yes, they are also slightly hard — because they are from carob pods! So you simply chew them using your back teeth. They are a yummy snack and a fun, different, healthy treat. You won’t be disappointed if you have an open mind and know you are purchasing raw carob without any sugar added. Only negative is that I wish you could purchase a bulk amount at a more reasonable price! (They are slightly pricey for the amount — but worth it for the great flavor.) Can you look into a bulk offering, Australian Carob Co??!! We have tried other brands and nothing comes close to Australian Carob Co’s flavor, texture and sweetness. Delicious! Ordering another bag right now!

I really like unsweetened cacao nibs. And I was hoping this would be the carob version of that. But the pieces are larger than I expected and also very hard. Some pieces were too hard to chew, and I actually had to spit them out. I really like the Australian carob powder and was hoping to love this as much as a replacement for chocolate. If they were to make the pieces smaller, more like cacao nibs, I would probably enjoy the more.

I love fresh raw carob pods, so soft and sweet with the little streams of honey running the length. I have not ordered the ones sold online, thinking they might be dried, but did decide to try these wholesome organic pieces. Absolutely delicious! The taste can't be adequately described except to say it tastes like carob! Try it...one happy customer here!

My Dad would take me on walks through Los Angeles when I was a little boy, nine or ten years old. He showed me how to pick up carob that had fallen from the trees, clean them up, and chew them. It was a very simple candy, raw as they were. For a kid coming from Brooklyn in the 1950's, eating something fallen from a tree was crazy, but it was fun. My first few bits of these Australian Pod Pieces, chewy and tough, but quickly juicy and flavorful, immediately took me back to those great days with my father, so long ago. They are not chocolate, so don't expect that. But before all these contemporary varieties of chocolate came to us, there was carob! If you're a vegan, as I am, I'll bet you enjoy these!
