Description
Baobab is the fruit of Africa's 'Tree of Life'. It is the only fruit in the world that dries naturally on the branch. Baking in the sun for 6 months, baobab’s green, prickly, velvet-like coating transforms into a smooth, brown, coconut-like shell.
Inside it’s hard casing (we use a hammer to crack it open) is the dry white-ish pulp of the fruit which contains no moisture whatsoever. To produce our award-winning Baobab range, we simply harvest and sieve to produce a 100% natural and organic powder that is exceptionally nutrient-rich, with an equally impressive range of benefits.
Baobab is a rich source of vitamin C, which contributes to normal:
- Energy release
- Immune function
- Healthy, glowing skin
It is also almost 50% fibre (two thirds soluble and one third insoluble, making it a powerful prebiotic) and contains more antioxidants than any other whole fruit.
As it is a natural source of these nutrients, it is more bioavailable than manufactured vitamin supplements, meaning our bodies can absorb the nutrients more easily, ensuring a greater uptake.
Amazingly, baobab has a natural shelf-life of 3 years so there are no additives or preservatives added to our products, just 100% pure baobab fruit pulp powder. It also has a delicious sweet and citrussy flavour - a bit like healthy sherbet!
