Benefits of Baobab: The Fruit of the African Superfood

The baobab, nicknamed the tree of life, produces an exceptional fruit with rare nutritional powers. The white pulp of the baobab fruit is rich in vitamin C, fibre and antioxidants. It is one of the most prized African superfoods in modern nutrition. Let's discover its 7 proven benefits.

1. More vitamin C than oranges

Baobab pulp contains up to 6 times more vitamin C than an orange. Excellent for the immune system, especially in winter.

2. Rich in prebiotic fibre

Baobab is 50% soluble and insoluble fibre that feeds the gut flora.

3. Powerful antioxidant

With a very high ORAC score, baobab neutralises free radicals and protects cells.

4. A source of calcium

Baobab contains twice as much calcium as milk. An ally for bones and teeth.

5. Low glycaemic index

With a GI of 30, baobab is recommended for people with diabetes. It stabilises blood sugar.

6. A source of magnesium and potassium

Essential minerals for the heart, muscles and sports recovery.

7. Boosts digestion

Baobab's fibre promotes regular intestinal transit without laxative effects.
