The carob is the fruit of the carob tree, a member of the Legume family, native to the Mediterranean region, typically measuring five metres in height and with a lifespan that can reach 500 years. The common name "carob" is derived from the Hebrew "kharouv" and the Arabic "kharroub". However, its scientific name, Ceratonia siliqua, comes from the ancient Greek "kera", meaning "horn", and the Latin "siliqua", meaning "pod", thus referring to its long, thick, brown, and flattened oval-shaped pods. Each pod contains fifteen to twenty seeds.
