The baobab (Adansonia digitata), a member of the Bombacaceae family, is a tree native to tropical Africa, basically Togo. It can reach a remarkable height (up to twenty metres!), as well as a huge girth (around 30 metres). This highly symbolic tree can be recognised by its characteristic silhouette: a broad trunk topped by slender branches that look like roots. This tree is particularly important because all its parts can be used in nutrition, cosmetics and herbal medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n

The seeds, for example, can be transformed into vegetable oil, while the baobab’s leaves are edible. Known as \u2018monkey bread\u2019, the large, oval fruits ripen at the end of long, hanging stalks. In fact, they are the only fruit in the world to dry naturally on their branches during the ripening period. Once the fruit has been picked, the \u2018calabash\u2019 has to be opened. The pulp, which takes the form of a kind of agglomerated dry powder, can then be recovered, separated from the seeds and crushed to obtain Baobab fruit pulp powder.<\/p>\n\n\n
