The carob tree spread by the Greeks in Sicily is used in various sectors for its beneficial properties.
In art, what we want to make known is the original meaning of its seeds since in ancient times, these were called carats and were used as a unit of measurement for weighing gems and precious metals such as gold, for example. It has been a very common practice in the bazaars of the Middle East and Asia. The carob seed in Arabic is called qirat, a term that derives from the Greek keration.
