I went this morning to pick up ripe carob fruits and took my camera with me. Idea of sharing few pix with U guys makes me happy. I dont know how many of U even knows about this fruit but in my country we use it for many things. In old days it was used as flower for making cakes and as substitute for cacao and chocolate and nowdays is mostly used for making liquers, souvenirs and dried fruit. If it is well dried it can last very long.
