Description
Local, wild harvested & organic Baobab
Our locally sourced and wild harvested baobab supports a economic female empowerment program, which helps to build schools in the rural Limpopo area.
Baobab is highly nutritious and different parts of the plant supply varying amounts of protein, vitamin C, antioxidants, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, calcium and B vitamins.
Baobab has is high in anti-oxidants (more than double the levels of acai and goji berries, and more than 6x more than cranberries, blueberries and pomegranates!)
Baobab is a pre-biotic, and helps feed friendly probiotic bacteria.
Generally use up to a tablespoon (10-15g) in a smoothie or directly in water.
Baobab is a tree native to Africa that produces large, hard-shelled fruits filled with a dry, powdery pulp. Baobab powder, which is made by grinding the dried pulp of the baobab fruit, is becoming increasingly popular as a superfood due to its high nutritional content.
Some potential health benefits of baobab powder include:
-
High in antioxidants: baobab powder is rich in antioxidants, which help to protect the body against oxidative stress and potentially reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
-
Good source of vitamin C: baobab powder is an excellent source of vitamin C, which is important for immune function, skin health, and wound healing.
-
High in fiber: Baobab powder is a good source of dietary fiber, which is important for digestive health and may also help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
-
Low glycemic index: Baobab powder has a low glycemic index, which means it does not cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels and may be beneficial for individuals with diabetes or those trying to manage their blood sugar levels.
Baobab powder can be used in a variety of ways, such as adding it to smoothies, yogurt, or oatmeal. It is important to note that baobab powder should not be used as a substitute for conventional medical treatment, and individuals should always consult with their healthcare provider before using baobab powder or any other natural remedies.
Why it belongs in the bazaar
Wild-harvested from South African baobab trees and sold organic, this tangy fruit powder carries more antioxidants than acai or goji, plus vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, iron and calcium. It's a natural prebiotic that feeds friendly gut bacteria — a tablespoon in water or a smoothie does it. And every bag backs a Limpopo women's empowerment program building rural schools.
