Molasses production does not exist in European culture. While researching carob, an English website stated it should not be boiled. While examining how caramelized foods, processed foods containing additives, and some fermented foods cause cancer, I found on a Turkish website what happens when carob is boiled.
There are many people who use carob to increase sperm count and as a blood builder, so how it should be used is important.
Some experts claim there is university research on carob... There is no university research on carob. I could not find such an official study or toxicology report. Those who say they have researched unfortunately do not have the means to conduct such research. Another important point is that the number of countries producing carob molasses is very few and its carcinogenic effects are not well known. The regions where carob grows in our country are the Aegean and Mediterranean. In these regions, the boiling process is not used in making molasses and tomato paste. Molasses and tomato paste are obtained by heating over low heat up to 50 degrees and then leaving them in the sun. This is also the essence of the Mediterranean diet. The health of people in the Mediterranean and Aegean regions is indebted to foods prepared without heat treatment, using natural methods. (Over time, this tradition has also deteriorated in those regions.) Carob production is also common in Mersin; their production method involves boiling up to 50 degrees and then thickening in the sun. In Europe, the seeds are ground in a sterile manner and used for various diseases. Ground carob seed is used in baby food, beverage production, and bread making.
Boiling carob; Caramelized foods are at the forefront of foods that cause cancer formation. An article I found online is about the carcinogenic effects of using carob by boiling it. "Carob nectar does not form caramel, which is a carcinogenic substance, because it does not come into contact with fire. Since the preparation of carob nectar does not exceed 50 degrees, no loss of minerals or amino acids is observed. In molasses production, harmful chemical enzymes such as soil, etc., used as clarifiers, are not used." it says.
If you are going to use carob molasses for its blood-building properties, especially for your children; prefer products that have not undergone heat treatment and that you are sure were made in the sun. Leukemia in children is increasing rapidly. Newspaper reports state that there are over 5 million asthma and allergy patients in Turkey. The collection of plants, drying them in the sun, and marketing them openly in herbalists already causes them to lose their healing power. Agricultural pesticides and hormones are used in fruit and vegetable production.
The best scientific research is done only by one herbalist. I often compare the accuracy of the articles I find and research. The reason I don't give his name is that he is also engaged in commerce.
The pesticide-free, organic version of carob is sold in Organic Food shops in Germany.
BENEFITS OF CAROB
The composition of the carob fruit is 50-70% fixed oils, alkaloids, and tannin. The carob fruit is eaten, and its seeds are ground and used. The seeds that Europeans grind and use in bread making, medicines, and for allergies. It is also said to help children's growth and development, the reason being that growth accelerates when allergies disappear. For those who have eating problems due to teeth, the fruits can be broken by hand and put into water boiled and cooled to 50 degrees, rested for a long time or by cutting off contact with air, then ground and used. Carob water does not spoil immediately; it can be stored in the refrigerator for two or three days in dark-colored, non-metallic glass containers. Carob contains gallic acid. It protects against diseases, pains, microbes, nitrosamines that cause cancer, and damage from free radicals, protects against asthma, allergies, and polio, and helps lung health by widening the bronchi, thanks to this acid property.
BENEFITS OF GALLIC ACID
Gallic Acid contained in carob is a substance with multifaceted properties on human health.
As long as there is no loss in amino acid and nutritional value;
It dries up inflammations.
It is antiseptic.
It is protective against polio with its gallic acid content.
Prevents damage from free radicals.
Reduces the effects of nitrosamine used as an additive in foods.
Reducing the effects of nitrosamine increases the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity.
Lowers cholesterol.
