MSD Baobab Fruit Powder is organic, gluten-free and derived from the fruit of the baobab tree (Adansonia species), which is native over the dry plains of African savannah, giving shades from the scorching sun, water to the animals and shelter to local tribes. The baobab tree is often referred to as the "Tree of Life" due to its ability to store water in its trunk during dry seasons and produce pods of golden goodness nutrient-rich fruit packed into a hard shell that looks like a shrunken coconut.
MSD Baobab Fruit Powder is made by harvesting the ripe fruit by hand, open the pod to remove the dried fruit pulp, seeds are separated from fruit pulp, and then grinding the dried fruit pulp into a fine powder. The powder tastes like a lemon - has a tangy, slightly sweet flavour, reminiscent of citrus or sherbet. It is super rich in essential nutrients, including vitamin C, antioxidants, fibre, and various plant-based vitamins and minerals such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium.
This is a versatile super-food ingredient with various health benefits and culinary applications. African tribes have been using baobab fruit for centuries for its benefits and nourishments - grinding, chopping, mixing into drinks, snacks, stews, and in preparation of native staple soup called ‘Kuka’ in Hausa.
