We proudly offer our Baobab Powder to companies and entrepreneurs looking for alternatives in their production processes.

Baobab powder is made from the dried and ground fruits of the baobab tree (Adansonia digitata), a large, iconic tree native to the savannas of mainland Africa and Madagascar. The baobab fruit is nutrient-dense, containing high levels of vitamin C, fibre and minerals like calcium, magnesium and potassium. Due to its remarkable nutritional profile, baobab has been called a “superfruit” and is increasingly used as a food supplement

Medicinal Uses

The baobab tree, a symbol of life and health in rural African communities, has a rich history of traditional uses. All parts of the plant, including the powdery fruit pulp, have been used for food and folk remedies. The fruit pulp, consumed to treat ailments like diarrhoea, fever, malaria and microbial infections, is known for its astringent properties. Modern research has further validated these traditional uses, showing that baobab fruit extract exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities. Baobab powder, in addition to its nutritional benefits, provides significant dietary fibre and antioxidants like vitamin C.

Using Baobab Powder

Integrating baobab powder into your diet is effortless. It can be added to a variety of foods and beverages, such as smoothies, yogurt, baked goods, or juices. The powder’s tart, citrusy flavour is versatile in both sweet and savoury dishes. For those who prefer a more straightforward approach, baobab powder can also be encapsulated as a dietary supplement. As with any new supplement, it’s always a good idea to follow the recommended dosage.
