TANTIE baobab powder (monkey bread, bouye), 200 g

TANTIE baobab powder is the dried pulp of the baobab fruit, monkey bread, known as bouye in Senegal. Nothing else in the bag: 100% fruit pulp. It is used above all to prepare bouye juice, and its tangy taste also lifts yoghurts and desserts. 200 g bag.

What is baobab powder?

The fruit of the African baobab (Adansonia digitata) holds a naturally dry, creamy white pulp, surrounding the seeds. Separated from the seeds and sieved, it produces this fine powder with a tangy, slightly lemony taste. In Wolof, the fruit is called bouye and the tree gouye; in French, it is called pain de singe. Not to be confused with lalo, the baobab leaf powder used to thicken sauces.

How to use it?

• For bouye juice, dilute 60 g of powder and 50 g of sugar in 1 litre of water, mix well, then leave to rest for 1 hour in a cool place. One bag makes about 3 litres. Many people add milk, vanilla or orange blossom water. The juice keeps for 3 days in the refrigerator.
• For ngalakh, the Senegalese Easter dessert, it is mixed with peanut paste and thiakry, the millet couscous.
• Day to day, one to two teaspoons in a yoghurt, a compote or a smoothie add a touch of tanginess.

What to pair it with?

For a ngalakh, add the DAKATINE peanut paste and the TANTIE thiakry. For the juice, the SAMIA orange blossom water and the LE GALION cane sugar. The full recipe is on the blog: baobab juice. If you prefer to start from the fruit, we also have the TANTIE baobab pieces. The whole section: Malian cuisine.
