Abstract

Ceratonia siliqua L., commonly known as carob, is a leguminous evergreen shrub or tree belonging to the family Fabaceae. This plant is native to the East Mediterranean area, flourishing on the arid and unproductive lands of the Mediterranean basin. The tree has great potential both economically and ecologically.
