Carob (Ceratonia siliqua) is a valuable plant native to the Mediterranean region, known for its environmental adaptability and its long-standing role in traditional medicine and nutrition. The carob pod is rich in natural sugars, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it nutritionally dense.

Scientific studies have shown that carob may reduce cellular damage by combating free radicals, thanks to its high antioxidant capacity. It is believed to have cancer-preventive properties and may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Compounds such as gallic acid, phenolics, and flavonoids make carob a true gift from nature.

At UPEK GIDA, we bring the miraculous essence of carob to your table without compromising its natural value. Our UPEK Carob Extract is produced through a cold extraction method, contains no additives, and is 100% natural. It is bottled in hygienic conditions at our modern facilities and is suitable for all age groups.

Carob is known to support the treatment of respiratory conditions such as bronchitis and asthma, especially for its cough-relieving properties in children. Rich in calcium and iron, it naturally contributes to bone development and helps combat anemia. Its fiber content also supports digestion and may help relieve constipation.

A 2017 publication in the clinical journal “Journal of Functional Foods” scientifically confirmed the positive effects of carob extract on glucose metabolism. This highlights its potential as a supportive food in the fight against diabetes.

UPEK GIDA’s carob products are available in 500 ml glass bottles, and also in blended versions with tahini or andız extract. Each product is formulated to preserve the nutritional value of its natural source.

Remember: consuming 1–2 tablespoons of carob extract daily can boost your immune system and connect you to the healing power of nature. At UPEK GIDA, we proudly embrace the responsibility of offering this natural product in its healthiest form.
