• Properties of Baobab Powder
• How do I use baobab powder?

Apparently, an African god, annoyed that the baobabs didn't provide enough shade, uprooted them and "replanted" them upside down. The legend is apparently connected to the tree's crown, which actually resembles roots.

The baobab is an extremely recognizable tree, and although it can be found in faraway lands, we all know what it looks like, especially since it was made famous by the story of The Little Prince by French pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. This tree's fame is largely due to its unique shape. Currently, we are learning more and more about the properties of the baobab, and it turns out it has a significant dose of health-promoting properties.

Properties of Baobab Powder

Relatively little water circulates in the "upside-down tree," meaning that not much water reaches the fruit. This creates a concentrated extract rich in nutrients within the baobab tree. The inhabitants of Africa themselves called the baobab "the tree of life." Today we know that baobab is rich in calcium, which is particularly valuable for strengthening bones.

In powder form, baobab contains many important nutrients such as:

• Vitamin C ,
• Vitamin B6 ,
• Niacin ,
• iron ,
• Magnesium ,
• Potassium .

An important feature of baobab powder is that it can support our weight loss efforts. This is because it is rich in fiber, which slows down digestive processes in the stomach, making us feel fuller for longer. Another health-promoting property of baobab is its high concentration of antioxidants, compounds that protect our bodies from oxidative damage and reduce inflammation.

How do I use baobab powder?

Access to fresh baobab fruit is extremely difficult due to its remoteness from the plants' natural habitats (Africa, Australia, and Madagascar). However, nothing stands in the way of harnessing the health-promoting properties of baobab in powder form. Baobab powder is a perfect way to diversify and enrich your favorite beverages—water, juices, tea, or cocktails.

There are no contraindications to the properties of baobab powder, which could enhance baked goods and also serve as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal. A diet that includes these dishes is rich in antioxidants.

It turns out that baobab is relatively easy to add to our diet. We can also use a key like this:

• Sprinkles - fruit, yogurt, muesli, cereal, pancakes,
• baking - add bread, cakes, baobab powder,
• mix – with oatmeal, dessert, soup, water with lemon,
• Shake - with coconut water, fruit juice, sauces,
• Mix - with sauces, milkshakes, ice cream.
