Baobab powder

What is the Baobab tree?

The baobab tree or monkey bread tree is the thickest tree in the world and grows mainly in Madagascar and on the African savannas. Actually, it is not a tree but a fiber plant. They can store up to 120,000 liters of water and can therefore survive on the dry savannas. According to experts, they can live more than 1000 years. The baobab tree is one of the most important food sources in arid Africa where not much else grows. It is therefore also called the ‘Tree of Life’. The locals have used the leaves and fruits for thousands of years for its high nutrient content. These are eaten fresh or dried.

The pulp of the fruits contains an incredible amount of fiber. These fibers are very suitable for making porridge or bread (hence the name monkey bread tree). The baobab fruit is therefore very nutritious and full of vitamins, antioxidants and minerals. For example, the fruits contain more vitamin C than oranges. It also contains essential minerals such as potassium, calcium and magnesium.
Because of the many fibers it quickly gives a satisfied feeling. Very good if you want to lose weight. Therefore, the vital bread, which contains baobab, is a good choice if you want to diet. It is also used as a daily dietary supplement for athletes, when tired or with high blood sugar.

• 6 times more vitamin C than oranges
• 6 times more antioxidants than blackcurrants
• 2 times more antioxidants than goji berries
• 2 times more calcium than milk
