Benefits of Baobab Fruit Powder:
- Anchor Health's Baobab Superfood Powder fruit pulp has an impressively high vitamin C content (280-300 mg/100 g), which is seven to 10 times more than oranges (51 mg/100 g)!
- It is also almost 50% fibre (two thirds soluble and one third insoluble, making it a powerful prebiotic) and contains more antioxidants than any other whole fruit.
- Baobab is a natural source of these nutrients; it is more bioavailable than manufactured vitamin supplements, meaning our bodies can absorb the nutrients more easily, ensuring a greater uptake.
Amazingly, baobab has a natural shelf-life of 3 years so there are no additives or preservatives added to our products, just 100% pure baobab fruit pulp powder. It also has a delicious, sweet and citrusy flavour - a bit like zingy sherbet!
Looking for another incredible superfood to add to your life? Look no further than baobab! Baobab, also known as "the tree of life," has been used as a food and a medicine (and more) for centuries. Every part of the tree can be used, and it's an excellent source of key nutrients, including vitamin C, potassium and iron.
Baobab fruit and powder are believed to have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.
Is baobab good for you?
Research shows that there are an impressive array of macronutrients, micronutrients, amino acids and fatty acids in the pulp, leaves, seeds and kernels of the baobab tree.
With a tangy citrus-like flavor, you can add baobab powder to smoothies, homemade healthy desserts, salad dressings and more to reap the highly desirable baobab benefits.
You can sprinkle baobab powder on yogurt or oatmeal.
You can also add it to water or sparkling mineral water as a refreshing and much healthier alternative to soda, also being a natural electrolyte, hydrating and nourishing your body.
It also makes a tasty, nutrient-rich smoothie addition.
If you have a sauce that could use a citrusy kick, try adding a little baobab powder.

Pregnancy
It is generally advised that pregnant women should consume 85mg of vitamin C per day (a 10g serving of Anchor Health Baobab Powder contains 26mg) as it helps the body produce collagen. Collagen is a structural protein that is needed for your baby's normal growth during pregnancy. It plays a vital role in structuring a baby's body and supporting their developing organs.
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, helps your body fight infections and protects cells from damage, helping to keep you healthy. Another key role that vitamin C plays during pregnancy is its ability to increase the absorption of iron, a vitamin that most pregnant women are deficient in. Iron is needed to help our bodies produce red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body and to the baby.
If that wasn't enough to convince you of baobab's super-powers, it is also a good source of fibre. Nutritional Therapist, Eve Kalinik explains how this helps to "support bowel movements and a great addition for new mums to help fight fatigue that comes with having a newborn".
