Baobab Powder Organic 250 g

Organic Baobab Powder

The mighty baobab tree from tropical Africa is also known as the ‘monkey bread tree’, as monkeys love its fruit. The trunk of this mighty tree has a distinctive, wide shape, whilst its crown resembles tree roots. Traditionally, various parts of the tree have been used for a range of purposes (for heating, for producing vegetable oils, for making ropes, etc.), but in the last decade it has become popular precisely because of its fruit, which has long been a rich source of vitamin C and other important active ingredients for Africans.

Baobab fruits can grow up to half a metre in size; they are brown, green or dark in colour and contain numerous seeds, from which a coffee-like drink is traditionally prepared. In addition to the fruit, the roots of young trees are also edible and are used in the preparation of various dishes. The fruit has a hard, hairy shell that protects it from pests. They are used fresh, but can also be dried, with powder extracted from the pulp and oil from the seeds. As baobab fruits contain high levels of vitamin C, riboflavin, niacin, linoleic acid, calcium, potassium and iron, they have long been used for medicinal purposes. Baobab powder also stimulates the gut microbiota, enabling beneficial bifidobacteria to multiply more rapidly. Baobab is an exceptional source of good dietary fibre.

Due to its high vitamin C content, baobab powder – or the drink prepared from it – has a slightly tart but refreshing taste.

Who do we recommend our organic baobab powder to?

To begin with, we recommend baobab to anyone who wishes to use nature’s help to regulate or improve their digestion and gut flora. We also recommend consuming baobab for problems with diarrhoea and loose stools. Its high content of vitamin C and other important minerals, vitamins and antioxidants helps to support a healthy immune system.

We also recommend it as a natural isotonic drink which, thanks to its potassium and magnesium content, provides energy and aids recovery after exercise.
