General Info:
The name “Baobab” is derived from Arabic which means “father of many seeds”. It is the common name for nine species of trees in the Adansonia genus, which reach heights of 5 to 30 m (16 to 98 ft) and have trunk diameters of 7 to 11 m (23 to 36 ft. These trunks store up to 100,000 liters or 26,000 US gallons to endure harsh drought conditions.

The baobab fruit is about the size of a coconut, has a velvety shell and weighs about 1.5 kilograms (3.3 lb). It has an acidic, tart flavor described as "somewhere between grapefruit, pear, and vanilla". The fresh fruit is said to taste like sherbet.

Baobab is fully dehydrated in the fruit pod on the tree, then cracked open and ground in wooden mortars. After being sieved numerous times, the premium powder is bagged and sealed.
