Article Details
The African monkey bread tree (Adansonia digitata), also called Baobab, is a tree species characteristic of the tropical Savannas south of the Sahara. During the wet season, the tree grows fruit similar in hardness and size to the coconut. Then tree then draws water from the fruit during the dry season, which dries the fruit in a natural way. After the harvest, the fruit is separated from the seeds and fibres and gentled processed. Baobab fruit is an important, nutritious food source in large parts of Africa.
Baobab is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The most important ingredients include:
Vitamin C: Baobab contains about 200 mg of vitamin C per 100 g, which is about three times the daily requirement of an adult. Vitamin C is important for the immune system, collagen formation and wound healing.
Potassium: Baobab is a good source of potassium, which is important for the regulation of blood pressure and muscle function.
Dietary Fiber: Baobab is rich in dietary fiber, which aids digestion and may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Antioxidants: Baobab contains a variety of antioxidants that can protect cells from free radical damage.
