Baobab Powder

Description

Certified Organic Baobab from South Africa

Experience the exceptional nutritional benefits and unique flavor of our Certified Organic Baobab, sourced from the ancient and drought-tolerant Baobab trees in South Africa.

Overview The Baobab tree, Adansonia digitata, also known as the upside down tree and monkey bread tree, is native to sub-Saharan Africa and is one of the oldest trees on the planet. These trees reach heights of 5–25 meters and can have trunk diameters up to 7 meters. The versatile tree offers young leaves that can be eaten like spinach or dried for tea, and its fruit pulp is known for its nutritional value and pleasant pear-like flavor with a mildly acidic aftertaste.

Key Features

• Certified Organic: Sourced from South Africa, ensuring no harmful pesticides or chemicals are used.
• Natural Processing: The fruit pulp dries naturally on the tree, and only a mechanical process is used to obtain the soft, powdery pulp without heat extraction, freeze-drying, or pasteurization.
