Baobab fruit grows on the baobab tree, a majestic and drought-resistant tree native to Africa. These trees can live for over a thousand years and produce large, gourd-like fruits that hang from their branches. Inside each fruit is a naturally dry pulp that surrounds black seeds—unlike most fruits, baobab pulp dries on the tree without the need for heat or processing. Harvesting baobab is a labor-intensive but sustainable process. The fruit is gathered from the ground by local women, who crack open the hard shells to collect the dry pulp. This pulp is then separated from the seeds and ground into a fine, nutrient-rich powder. Because the pulp is naturally dry, the process requires minimal energy and the baobab retains its natural nutrients, making baobab powder one of the most sustainable and nutrient-dense superfoods on the planet.
