Description

A typical tree that you will see in Greece frequently is the Carob or Ceratonia siliqua L. It's the 3rd most cultivated tree. What's peculiar about it is that it has veru equal sized seeds. These were used in the past ahs a unit of measurement for spices and precios stones. The word karat is derived from that. It comes from the Arab qyrat which means small seed. And that is coming from the Greek keration which means horn. The bible mentions it as fodderfor the anmials (Luke 15:16). Seeds are also used to prepare a low calorie dietetic flour. It's also used as stabilizer in ice-creas & sweets. Roasted, the fruits are used as a coffee surrogate. It is still used as fodder for horses and pigs.
