    Baobab Baobab

    Baobab is the fruit of Africa’s ‘Tree of Life’ and is also known as the ‘Pharmacist Tree’. Baobab has also been hailed as “the vitamin tree” by National Geographic.

    It is the only fruit in the world that dries naturally on the branch.

    Among the best health benefits of baobab powder are its powerful antioxidants — more, in fact, than any other whole fruit; gram per gram, it has twice the antioxidants of goji berries and more than blueberries and pomegranates combined.

    Baobab is one of the highest alkaline foods available as it has a PRAL (Potential Renal Acid Load) rating of -52 … The Journal of Environmental Health (2012) found that alkaline foods can also help defend our bodies from chronic diseases and ailments (such as hypertension, arthritis and deficiency in vitamin D).

    Other important health benefits of baobab include its ability to boost the immune system, support bone strength, soothe the gastrointestinal system, lower inflammation, reduce blood pressure, and stimulate growth and repair.
