Krieger Toadstools, Mushrooms, Fungi, Edible and Poisonous: One Thousand American Fungi: How to Select and Cook the Edible; How to Distinguish and Avoid the Poisonous, with Full Botanic Descriptions by charles Mcilvaine MedicinAL uSeS In a 1976 article in Desert Magazine, Marian Seddon writes: Only lately have medical journals in North America and Europe begun advocating carob powder for the prevention and cure of human dysentery, especially in children. The pectin and lignin in the carob not only regulate digestion, they combine with harmful elements—even radioactive fallout—in digested foods and carry them out of the body.

Look closely at the hooks on each spine of the burr. Compare these hooks with Velcro, that fastening device first so common on camping gear, such as packs and coats, and now found in countless other applications.

They can be boiled in water to be softened and then strung into a necklace. All in all, the carob is a beautiful friend to have around, offering shade in the summer’s heat and year-round food to all who are willing to partake. Detrimental Properties I consider carob one of the best survival foods, and the tree lives well and lives long with little care.
