About Product

The baobab tree, native to much of the African continent, has been a traditional food source in Africa for centuries.

The tree is sometimes referred to as the “upside-down tree” due to its distinctive structure, with its branches resembling roots that reach up into the sky.

Baobab fruit is a source of vitamin C and other nutrients. It has a tart, citrusy flavor and is traditionally eaten fresh, dried, or made into a drink. The fruit's pulp can also be ground into a powder, becoming increasingly popular and easily added to smoothies and other recipes to create nourishing value.

It can be used in sweet and savory dishes and has a pleasant tartness with a hint of sweetness.

With its long tradition and health benefits, it’s no wonder it’s becoming more popular in the health food world.
