Although this was a good price and the taste was just how I expect Carob to taste like, I just can't get pass the mess it can make if you just leave it in the bag and close it with a clip. The bag was packed to its max, so when I cut it open I did get carob on me and the counter. I've tried numerous carob brands and the taste of this, is just as good, but a pain.  Yes I could put it into a container, but why, when I can spend the same price or less, for another brand and get an organic brand to boot that is less messy.
