Lucuma × Carob
Whole food sweetness plus body.
Lucuma brings gentle caramel notes with natural polyphenols and carotenoids. Carob adds cocoa like depth with abundant polyphenols. Both contribute fiber. PMC
Cardio friendly potential from carob fiber.
Human trials of carob preparations rich in insoluble fiber reported reductions in total and LDL cholesterol over several weeks. These results come from specific study doses and do not turn a spice blend into a treatment, but they illustrate why carob is studied in metabolic health. PubMed
Antioxidant coverage from two plants.
Lucuma pulp and skin contain phenolics and xanthophyll carotenoids with measured antioxidant activity. Carob pods are a well described source of polyphenols with antioxidant capacity. Together they add plant compounds that help neutralize oxidative processes in the body’s cells. PMC
Mineral note.
Carob contributes minerals such as calcium and potassium. Lucuma adds potassium in typical retail powders. Amounts vary by brand and serving. PMC
Good to know.
Studies above describe ingredients used at study doses. They do not replace personalized medical advice. Individuals with food allergies or sensitive digestion should introduce new botanicals gradually and follow professional guidance. PubMed

About the formulation
Foundation Spice Axis
Coriander, cumin, and black cumin set the ras el hanout backbone. Pepper drives lift and length. Nutty, citrus-tinged midnotes with a quiet toasted depth.
Heat and roots
Chili, ginger, galangal, and turmeric build a clean heat gradient. Citrus snap from galangal. Turmeric lays down a golden hue that reads savory, not sweet.
Licorice and herb
Anise, fennel, and star anise add cool brightness and sheen. Bay leaf threads a subtle evergreen line. Structure without heaviness.
Warm sweet spine
Cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and cardamom supply pastry warmth and resin. Rounded sweetness meets gentle camphor. The core feels rich yet precise.
Floral top and superfood body
Lavender and rosebuds float a perfumed, high note. Carob and lucuma modernize the blend with natural cocoa-caramel depth and soft roundness. Classic ras el hanout, upgraded with nourishment.
You might be wondering
What makes THE SOUK different from classic ras el hanout
Heritage backbone of coriander, cumin, black cumin, pepper, warm spices, licorice notes, florals. Upgraded with carob and lucuma for cocoa-caramel roundness and gentle body. Clean label. No fillers.
How hot and how perfumed is it
Warm rather than hot. Heat from chili, ginger, galangal. Perfume is present but restrained from lavender and rosebuds. Balanced for tagines, grilled meats, root vegetables, and couscous.
Does carob and lucuma make it sweet
Natural softness, not dessert sweet. Carob adds cocoa depth. Lucuma brings mellow maple-like notes. Overall profile stays savory and spiced.
How to use and any salt policy
Season proteins at 1 to 2 percent of weight, then add separate salt to taste. Bloom briefly in oil or ghee, or dust as a finishing sprinkle. Works in rubs, marinades, rice, sauces, and even chocolate or nut mixes. Store cool and dry to preserve flow and aroma.
