When you turn 50 you start counting backwards at each birthday. Today I am 40, ten years younger than I was when I was 50

So are Carobs, a large pea like pod full of pea like seeds which are used in the pharmacutical industry and producing diabetic chocolate. The seeds are more or less the same size no matter which tree they come off and they grow all over the North Africa and Meditteranean region. The Arab gem stone and gold traders used them as a standardised weight and called them Carat.
