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.
Our natural and organic baobab powder is a rich source of vitamin C, which contributes to normal: Energy release, Immune function and 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.
IMMUNE SYSTEM BOOSTER: The human body cannot make or store its own vitamin C, so we need to make sure we get a good supply from the foods we eat every day. A single scoop of our natural baobab powder can provide you with 16% of your daily vitamin C requirement.
WEIGHT LOSS GOALS: Some research has found that adding baobab to your diet may be beneficial if you’re looking to drop a few extra pounds. It can help curb cravings and promote feelings of fullness, helping you eat less and lose weight.
One small study in 20 people showed that drinking a smoothie with 15 grams of baobab extract significantly reduced feelings of hunger compared to a placebo drink.
RADIANT SKIN: According to The Journal of Nutrition, Baobab has the highest antioxidant content of any fruit. Baobab powder has twice the antioxidants gram per gram of goji berries and more than blueberries and pomegranates combined. Baobab is packed with antioxidants and vitamin C which supports collagen formation - helping to give you radiant, glowing skin as well as preventing wrinkles.
BALANCE OUT YOUR BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS: Adding baobab to your diet may benefit blood sugar control. One study found that adding baobab extract to your diet reduced the amount of rapidly-digested starch and slowed down the increase of blood sugar levels in the body. Because of baobab's high fiber content, baobab may also help slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, which can prevent spikes and crashes in blood sugar and stabilize levels long term.
ESSENTIAL VITAMINS AND MINERALS: Baobab is a good source of many important vitamins and minerals. The pulp in baobab is high in vitamin C, antioxidants and several key minerals like potassium, magnesium, iron and zinc. The leaves are rich in calcium and high-quality proteins that can be easily digested. Furthermore, the seeds and kernel of the plant are loaded with fiber, fat and micronutrients like thiamine, calcium and iron. Our powdered baobab contains many important nutrients but is especially high in vitamin C, vitamin B6, niacin, iron and potassium to make sure your health is on the right track.
GASTROINTESTINAL HEALTH FROM BAOBAB: Baobab has traditionally been used in African populations to relieve diarrhea, constipation, and dysentery. The soluble fibers found in baobab fruit may exert prebiotic effects, promoting the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut. So if you are having these type of issues give our natural and organic powder a try.
PACKED WITH AMAZING ANTIOXIDANTS: Baobab is packed with antioxidants and polyphenols, which are compounds that protect your cells from oxidative damage and reduce inflammation in your body. Some studies have observed that baobab may help decrease levels of inflammation in the body. One study found that baobab fruit pulp reduced multiple markers of inflammation and decreased oxidative damage to cells.
