Reply to comment by grating in TIL that in ancient times, the carob seed was used to measure the worth of gems and gold since the seeds have a general uniform weight. This is where the word "karat" comes from. by kkoolook
Really? As a kid I loved eating wild carub when in the country.

We're complaining about carob being substituted for chocolate. Carob is fine, but it doesn't work as chocolate.

It doesn't, but OP was saying it tastes like sawdust. It has a great taste, but it's way different from chocolate.
