Baobab Fruit Powder

Baobab fruit powder comes from the dried pulp of the baobab tree fruit, native to Africa and Australia. The white pulp is typically dried and ground into a fine powder.

Manufacturers use baobab fruit powder as a source of nutrients and for its mild, tangy flavor. It is often added to beverages, smoothies, baked goods, and snack bars.

Baobab fruit powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of vitamin C and fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated baobab, but no specific numeric intake limits were set. Research suggests it may have antioxidant properties, but more studies are needed to confirm health benefits at typical consumption levels.
