About the Carob Tree

From the United States Department of Agriculture:

Growth habit:

Ceratonia siliqua — carob, St. John’s bread, or locust — is a small to medium-sized broadleaf, evergreen tree that may grow to 20 m in height under ideal climatic conditions but usually reaches heights of 8 to 15 m. Carob is thought to be a tropical plant that has adapted well to Mediterranean climates by utilizing its deep rooting habit and xerophilous leaves to avoid water stress. The deep taproot’s penetration into moist regions of the soil profile effectively lengthens the active growth period for carob leaves during the Mediterranean dry season. 

Occurrence:

Carob is native to the eastern Mediterranean from the southern coast of Asia Minor to Syria. It has been cultivated for thousands of years as a forage crop on a wide variety of soils in Asian, European, and North African countries along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Carob’s sensitivity to low temperatures limits its area of distribution. Since its introduction to the United States in 1854, carob has done well only in the warm subtropical climates (southern Florida, the Gulf States, New Mexico, Arizona, and southern California) where annual rainfall is not below 30 to 35 cm. 

Use:

Carob legumes (pods) are commonly used as animal feed or ground into flour and mixed with other cereals for human consumption. The legumes are rich in protein and sugar and are a highly nutritious livestock feed, comparable to barley and superior to oats.

However, the high sugar content (< 50%) is offset by a high tannin content (16 to 20%) that inhibits protein assimilation. Techniques are currently being developed to enzymatically separate and extract the phenolic tannin compounds to increase utilization. Legumes are also used in making health foods (as a chocolate “substitute”), carob syrup, and medicines such as laxatives and diuretics. In addition, they can be used as a cheap carbohydrate source for ethanol production, yielding 160 g of ethanol/kg of dry legumes. The annual production of carob legumes is 340,000 to 400,000 metric tons (374,800 to 441,000 tons), with Greece, Spain, Italy, and Portugal being primary producers. Carob seeds are extremely hard, but the endosperm contains 30 to 40% by weight of galactomanane polysaccharides collectively known as carob-, or locust-bean gum. The compound is a valuable stabilizing and thickening additive used in the food processing, pharmaceutical, textile, paper, and petroleum industries.

The adaptability, ease of cultivation, and aesthetic appeal of carob also make it a desirable landscape plant. It is chiefly valuable in the United States as an ornamental evergreen but has been used to some extent in environmental plantings.

Size Chart

Seedling Size Chart: Medium

Due to the dynamic nature of actively growing trees, as well as the tremendous variation between species’ growth rates, we rely on the cubic volume of a seedling’s root mass to determine its “size” (Small / Medium / Large / XL). Within each size there is minor variance — the dimensions provided here represent the category minimum. If exact measurements are essential, please contact us about current stock.

Air gets trapped in the filter so it won’t fully steep
Color: Black, Size: 40 oz
Filter doesn’t let air out. It’s weird about all these positive reviews bc I tried cold brewing tea two times overnight but the filter holes are so small that basically it traps a large air bubble inside with the tea leaves. The water was barely steeped. It was weird enough to the point where I thought there must be a clear film on the filter that I hadn’t removed. When I loosen the lid all do the air rushes out and it fills w water, but when you tighten the lid any air inside with your grounds/leaves is trapped and prevents steeping. I kept thinking it was me based on all of these positive reviews but I could not prevent the massive about of air from getting trapped in the filter. If they made the holes bigger (not too big to let grounds out but currently you could mistake it for plastic film) then it would’ve been perfect. Nice size and about what I’d drink in a day or so. Change the filter hole size to let air flow out and I’ll buy it back!

Great product, thoughtful design, great customer service
Color: Black, Size: 40 oz
I don't write a lot of reviews, but I felt like this product deserved one. This is an excellent cold brew maker. It is very easy to use and has a great 1,200 mL capacity. The plastic construction is more versatile (less fragile) than other brewers made from glass. The filtration system eliminates the sludge that other brew systems leave. The packaging is very thoughtful - a scoop and sponge are included. The scoop is easily overlooked, but it is the perfect size to clean the used grounds out of the filter. The sponge is an unexpectedly useful form factor to help with cleaning. Hopefully the sponges can be ordered separately, since sponges don't last forever. Some minor downsides: Cleaning is moderately easy, but the only component that is recommended for the dishwasher is the pitcher (which is also easiest to clean by hand). All of the other elements are recommended for hand washing, which doesn't take long. The way the filter is configured, the pitcher will work most effectively if stored (at least for part of the brew cycle) on its side. However, there is a vent in the lid that is prone to leaking when the pitcher is stored on its side. Brewing upright can lead to the top grounds not getting exposed to water. Unfortunately, one of the pieces broke during routine use after a couple of months: the pitcher lid is attached with a couple of hinges that snap the lid into place on the pitcher. One of the hinge attachments broke. I contacted customer service and a replacement pitcher arrived four days later. I'd recommend being careful with these hinge attachments as they seem prone to break. At the same time, the customer service is very responsive and suggests that they take support of their products seriously.

Nice little cold brew pitcher
Color: Black, Size: 40 oz
Easy to use and very easy to clean. We have made one batch of cold brew so far and are very pleased with the results, the suggested measurements produced a very smooth tasting coffee. Definitely worth trying for the price.

Best cold brew ever
Color: Black, Size: 40 oz
How did I live without this?? My ice coffee made in this is the best I have ever had. It is very easy to use and also very easy to clean. I was very impressed with the quality of the pitcher. It is very thick acrylic and cleans up great with absolutely no staining or discoloration. I am going to be ordering another for my brother! I highly recommend this one!

Very nice but -
Color: Black, Size: 64 oz
Got it today. Just put it to use and made some cold brew. Looks nice and sturdy and doesn’t leak. Has a great large capacity to make a lot of cold brew. Lid closure is great and seals nicely. Very easy to use and user friendly. The plastic material is very thick feeling so that tells me it will withstand quite a bit. I like it so far. My only issue is as soon as I opened the box and pulled the spoon out, it was broken. The bottom stand is completely broken and barely stands up. So that’s disappointing. Otherwise, seems very nice.
