OUR NEW SEASON BAOBAB FRUIT HAS ARRIVED ORDER WHILE STOCKS LAST!
Baobab fruit powder is a pale powder that forms naturally inside the fruits of the baobab tree (Adansonia digitata). Baobab is the most nutritional fruit on the planet. It has an exotic tangy flavour due to its content of citric, malic and tartaric acids and is exceptionally nutritious containing high natural levels of antioxidants, essential minerals including calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium, and vitamin C.
The powder is pale in colour and has a unique tangy taste described as 'caramel pear with subtle aftertones of grapefruit'
The African Baobab Fruit packs a powerful nutritional punch:
Twice as many antioxidants as goji berries
Double the calcium of milk
Rich in vitamin C
More iron than red meat
More potassium than a banana
More magnesium than spinach
Contains No artificial flavours, colourings or preservatives.
Antioxidants: With an ORAC value of over 650/g, our baobab fruit powder has an antioxidant level more than double that of goji berries, and more than six times that of cranberries, blueberries and blackberries.
Calcium: Our baobab fruit powder contains over 250mg/g of calcium, vital for building and maintaining healthy bones. That means baobab contains more calcium than milk and may make it the richest-known plant source of this mineral. This is of particular interest to makers of products for vegetarians and vegans.
Iron: Recent surveys have found that many of us – including a majority of women – do not consume enough iron. Our baobab fruit powder is a rich source of iron containing 3.6mg/100g – more than many other foods traditionally recommended for their iron content such as red meat, spinach and lentils.
Potassium: Our baobab fruit powder contains 2120mg/100g of potassium. That is almost six times higher than banana, frequently recommended by nutritionists for its potassium content. Potassium is important for many aspects of health including the nervous system and muscle function. Since potassium loss can occur through sweating, baobab’s high potassium content may be of particular interest to makers of sports and fitness products.
Magnesium: At 144.5mg/g, our baobab fruit powder is a rich natural source of magnesium, a mineral that has been linked to bone health, heart health and lowering of high blood pressure.
Product Applications: Baobab fruit powder is suitable for use in a wide range of food and drink products such as:
* Use in smoothies and juices.
* Add to Cereals, cereal bars and snacks.
* Jams, sauces, marinades and condiments.
* Mix into icecream, plain yoghurt or make your own dairy free desserts.
* Speciality teas.
* Health supplements.
The powder has a high pectin content (around 25%) and so is especially useful for products where binding and thickening is needed: Thicken soups and sauces
