Faux cocoa (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carob

(Other definitions for carob that I've seen before include "(Seeds yielding) powder used as a chocolate substitute" , "Arabian tree with brownish-purple pods" , "Locust tree" , "St John's bread" , "Evergreen tree with edible pods" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the Newsday.com.
