assuming you already have the seeds which have been toasted and are very hard, grind them in a mortar and pestle. ...Better yet, remove the seeds from the pod they came in, PLANT the seeds, so you'll have more carob in the future, and dry the now empty pods at low heat. Then, grind the PODS in a mortar, WITH a pestle. Or, if you are feeling lazy, break up the pods, toss the bits into one of those little coffee grinders, put the coffe grinder on a towel on the kitchen counter, put the lid on the coffee grinder, and put two copies of "The Joy of Cooking" on top of the lid (one copy is generally too light). If it's plugged in (the grinder, not the book), it should start grinding up the dried pods for you, leaving you to relax & enjoy a cup of hot carob at the kitchen table (preferably with little rubber bungs in your ears; those coffee grinders are pretty loud. Also, keep an eye on it to make sure the books don't fall off too soon. Check the powder now & then until its as fine as you desire).

Is carob gum gluten free?
Carob powder is created by grinding the pods of the Carob tree which is found in the Mediterranean region of the world. It is inherently gluten-free. However, as with all powdered substances, wheat flour can be added to the carob powder as an "anti-caking" agent. The flour does NOT have to be listed in the ingredients according to US law since, as defined by the FDA, flour (and the gluten found in it) is "generally recognized as safe". This standard is know as GRAS and it is bad news for celiacs. When the seeds of the carob pod are ground up, it is called carob bean gum, or locust bean gum. For those who are gluten sensitive, it is important to make sure that the carob powder or the carob treat that you bought did not have gluten added to it during processing. I have bought gluten-free carob powder and it is clumpy, like granulated sugar on a humid day. Companies such as Chatfields provides carob powder that is not clumpy at all. They also indicate on their web site that they cannot guarantee that trace amounts of gluten did not get into the carob powder during processing. So I stay away from Chatfields. There is a study "Physiochemical studies of caroubin: a gluten-like protein" from J Agric Food Chem (2001) that mentions both caroubin (a protein found in carob powder) and gluten have the same "rheological" properties, but that just means that they have the same viscosity in solution. You should not get a gluten reaction eating carob powder that is processed in a gluten-free facility, or if you get the pods and grind them up yourself :-).

I would like to know how to make carob chocolate. I have a son that is allergic to milk products.?
First of all, you have to buy the carob; it comes in powder or chips I believe. I used to bake with carob when my daughter was young but that was so many years ago. I did a quick web search for recipes, there are plenty but read them through because most call for butter. Look for vegetarian or vegan recipes, they should be dairy free. I remember that I had to experiment but many carob treats are delicious. Carob has it's own unique flavor. There should be recipes on the packages, but again, look out for other diary ingredients.
Is carob vegan?
Carob by itself is vegan. Some carob bars have dairy added.
