Baobab powder: why nutritionists worldwide are raving about this African fruit
The baobab is Africa's most iconic tree. It's called the "Tree of Life." And for good reason: its fruit contains one of the highest concentrations of vitamin C in the plant kingdom — up to 6 times more than an orange.
In recent years, baobab powder has become the star ingredient for nutritionists in Europe, the United States, and Japan. But in Ivory Coast, it has been consumed forever.
The nutritional composition of baobab
Baobab powder is obtained by natural drying of the fruit pulp. It requires no heat treatment because the pulp dries naturally inside the pod. This makes it one of the most "living" superfoods available.
- Vitamin C: 280mg per 100g (compared to 53mg for orange)
- Calcium: more than cow's milk
- Magnesium: essential for the nervous and muscular systems
- Prebiotic fibers: nourish the gut microbiome
- Polyphenols: powerful anti-aging antioxidants
5 ways to incorporate baobab into your daily life
Baobab powder has a slightly tart and pleasant taste, which pairs perfectly with many preparations:
- In a smoothie: one tablespoon with banana, mango, and plant-based milk.
- In yogurt: mixed with honey and red berries.
- In a vinaigrette: for an original tangy touch.
- As a drink: diluted in fresh water with a touch of ginger.
- In baking: partial replacement of flour to enrich cakes and muffins.
