The baobab — the tree of life — is Africa's most iconic tree, capable of living thousands of years and storing vast quantities of water. Its fruit pulp contains one of the highest concentrations of vitamin C of any food on earth, along with calcium, iron, and prebiotic fibre. Used across sub-Saharan Africa as food and medicine for fever, diarrhoea, malnutrition, and immune support, baobab fruit powder is now recognised globally as a functional superfood.
