Buy Baobab Powder: Why This African Superfood Contains 6 Times More Vitamin C Than Oranges

The baobab — also known as the "tree of life" — is Africa's most iconic tree. It can live for over 1,000 years, and its fruit contains one of the highest concentrations of vitamin C in the entire plant kingdom: up to 280 mg per 100 g, compared to 53 mg in oranges.

Baobab powder is obtained by naturally drying the fruit pulp. Unlike most superfoods, it requires no heat treatment — the pulp dries naturally within the pod, retaining all its nutrients in their most bioavailable form.

Nutritional Profile of Baobab

  • Vitamin C: 280mg per 100g
  • Calcium: Higher than cow's milk
  • Magnesium: Essential for nerve and muscle function
  • Prebiotic Fiber: Promotes a healthy gut microbiome
  • Polyphenols: Powerful anti-aging antioxidants

5 Easy Ways to Use Baobab Powder

  2. Yogurt: Mixed with honey and berries.
  3. Salad Dressing: Adds a unique tart flavor.
