Baobab fruit powder

Description

Baobab Fruit Powder is a nutrient-rich superfood obtained from the pulp of the baobab fruit (Adansonia digitata), native to Africa. The fruit naturally dries on the tree, allowing the pulp to be ground into a fine powder without the need for additives or preservatives.
