Ġulepp tal-ħarrub

Ġulepp tal-ħarrub is a syrup made from pods of the carob bush, a species of flowering evergreen shrub that is widely used in cooking, often as a replacement for cocoa. In Malta, it's used as a traditional medicine to treat coughing and sore throat.


Apart from its medicinal properties, it can also be used as a sweetener and is considered a natural source of iron, phosphorus, natural fibers, and calcium.
