Prosopis chilensis 'Large Fruited' – Chilean Carob Tree

Small tree from arid areas in N. Chile, S. Peru and N. Argentina, with feathery "Mimosa leaves". The beans are used in a way similar to carobs, to make a sweet flour that can be added to desserts, pastries, soups and even ice-cream. Just like for carobs, the dried pods can be eaten raw as a snack.

Small tree from arid areas in N. Chile, S. Peru and N. Argentina, with feathery "Mimosa leaves". The beans are used in a way similar to carobs, to make a sweet flour that can be added to desserts, pastries, soups and even ice-cream. Just like for carobs, the dried pods can be eaten raw as a snack. Prosopis chilensis is a fast growing, nitrogen-fixing tree. It is extremely hardy to drought and wind and can also take light frosts. Here we offer here one of the larger fruited forms, from the Atacama desert in Chile.
