Description, ingredients and allergens

TANTIE baobab pieces are the dried pulp of the baobab fruit (Adansonia digitata), to be dissolved in water to prepare the traditional bouye juice. It can also be sucked directly, like a tangy sweet. 200 g bag, origin Senegal.

What are baobab pieces?

The baobab fruit, called monkey bread in English or bouye in Wolof, contains a naturally tangy white pulp, surrounding hard, dark seeds. TANTIE sells it dried, in pieces ready to dissolve. In the European Union, dried baobab fruit pulp has been authorised as a novel food ingredient since 2008.

How to prepare bouye juice?

Mix the pieces with water until the pulp is fully dissolved, then strain to remove the fibres and seeds. Sweeten to taste and serve chilled. The pieces can also be sucked directly, like sweets.

What other culinary uses are there?

In porridge, mixed into breakfast cereals.
In a smoothie, for a tangy touch.
In homemade sorbet, once the juice is strained and sweetened.

What to pair it with?

Find the pulp already ground with the RACINES organic baobab powder or the RACINES organic crushed baobab. For the detailed recipe, see our article on bouye, or browse our exotic drinks collection.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between baobab pieces and powder?

How to prepare bouye juice with baobab pieces?

Mix the pieces with water until the pulp dissolves, strain to remove the fibres and seeds, then sweeten to taste. Serve well chilled.

What does bouye taste like?

A tangy, slightly sweet taste, between pear and citrus, reminiscent of the juices served in Senegal and part of West Africa.

Can baobab pieces be eaten directly?
