What it is
Organic baobab fruit comes from the baobab tree, native to Africa, Australia, and Madagascar. The fruit's pulp is dried and often ground into a powder. It has a tart, citrus-like flavor.
Why it's used
Baobab powder is used as a nutritional supplement and flavor enhancer. Manufacturers add it to beverages, baked goods, and dairy products for its vitamin and mineral content and its tangy taste.
Health notes
Baobab fruit is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. International bodies like EFSA have not established specific regulatory limits for baobab powder. Research suggests potential benefits for gut health and blood sugar management, but more studies are needed.
Allergen info
Baobab fruit is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
