A alfarroba (do árabe al karrub, a vagem), é o fruto da alfarrobeira (Ceratonia siliquaL.).Julga-se que as suas sementes foram usadas, no antigo Egipto, para a preparação de múmias; foram, aliás, encontrados vestígios de suas vagens em túmulos.
Pensa-se que a alfarrobeira terá sido trazida pelos gregos da Ásia Menor. Existem indícios de que os romanos mastigavam as suas vagens secas, muito apreciadas pelo seu sabor adocicado. Como outras, a planta teria sido levada pelos árabes para o Norte de África, Espanha e Portugal.
