Why use Carob Flour as a thickener?

The carob seed flour can be used as a natural thickener.

In fact, carobs contain pectin, a gelling and natural thickener useful in cooking.

Why Sicily is named the land of citrus:

Sicily is named the “Land of Citrus” due to its high production compared to other regions.

Indeed, the island manages to meet 60% of the country’s annual consumption, with an annual consumption of 19 Million quintals per citrus (including lemons and oranges).

Sicilian citrus fruits are considered among the best in the world; they have become the very symbol of the Island, described by Goethe as “the land where lemons bloom”.

Highly appreciated are the green lemons, and world-famous are the blood oranges, whose color is due to the sharp temperature difference on the slopes of Etna.

Among these, the tarocco from the Plain of Catania has become a Slow Food Presidium.
