Carob powder is made from the dried seed pods of the Carob Tree. Whether it can be considered a spice, a bean or seeds is debatable.
It's chief claim to fame is as an animal feed - or for humans, a cocoa alternative. It has a chocolate flavor, but somewhat softer.
I have used it as a flavoring agent in Bean dishes (mixed beans and chilis) and in Rice dishes (dark rices). Mixing it in with Adobo works for me too.
Carob Powder would make for an interesting Cooking Bites challenge, if anybody would care to recall this post mentioning it.
