Nature’s Nutritional Miracle

Mother Nature was at her very best when she created baobab. She naturally dries the fruits of the iconic African baobab tree and we simply mill and sieve the dried fruit pulp into a tasty, easy-to-use powder. This amazing fruit delivers a cornucopia of nutrition – antioxidants, fiber, essential vitamins and minerals. There aren’t enough accolades for baobab: a raw, whole food, gluten free and uncompromised nutrient synergy, just to name a few. It’s just plain good for you.

Exceptional Fiber

Baobab consists of more than 50% fiber by weight. More importantly, the majority of fiber is the highly beneficial soluble variety. Soluble fiber creates a gel-like substance in the intestines, helping regulate blood sugar by prolonging the time the stomach empties and therefore releasing sugars more slowly.

Soluble fiber also helps sooth and regulate the digestive tract, stabilize intestinal-tract contractions, lower LDL and PH levels, and raise levels of the helpful superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme, a free-radical inhibitor. In all, soluble fiber lowers inflammation related to obesity-related diseases, strengthens the immune system and maintains healthy digestion.

The Antioxidant King

The benefits of antioxidants are abundant, and baobab delivers more of these powerful disease fighters than any other superfruit, including acai, Goji berries, blueberries, cherries and pomegranates. The high antioxidants combine with fiber to help reduce inflammation and support a healthy immune system. There are 15,000 ORAC units in every 2-tablespoon serving of our pure Baobab Foods Fruit Powder – 3 times more than the USDA’s recommended minimum of 5,000 ORAC units per day.

The baobab we import grows in southern Africa where the unique properties of the environment and soil boost the fruit’s antioxidant capacity – 5 times the amount of antioxidants of baobab grown in other regions in Africa and other parts of the world.

Nature’s Multi-Vitamin

Baobab packs a vitamin and mineral punch that is second to none. Exceptional levels of iron, magnesium, potassium and vitamin C are naturally present. Baobab is even a rare plant source of calcium. And because our Baobest Fruit Powder requires an absolute minimum of processing, all of these nutrients remain in complete synergy.
