Made from 100% pure Organic Baobab Fruit Powder, our Baobab Fruit Purée is an
extremely versatile ingredient which can be used in a wide variety of product
applications. It has one of the highest dietary fiber contents of any fruit purée
on the market. Packed with vitamin C, potassium and calcium, it has a sharp tangy
citrus taste with a hint of grapefruit and caramel.
Baobab Fruit Purée is Organically-certified, and is also available as a premium
FairWild-certified product, reflecting both the ecological sustainability of the
sourcing practices and the fair trade pricing and transparent business relationships
with rural fruit harvesters in southern Africa.
Known as Africa’s Superfruit, Baobab Fruit Powder has become increasingly popular
for its excellent nutritional and functional properties. Ready-to-use and easily
blended with other ingredients, Baobab Fruit Purée is perfect for food and beverage
brands looking to add Baobab fiber, nutrients, taste, texture and mouthfeel to their
products.
More total dietary fiber than other fruit purées
- Consumers and product developers are increasingly aware of dietary fiber’s multiple
health benefits particularly with the gut microbiome, but most fruit purées fall short
in their ability to deliver on fiber content. Our Baobab Fruit Purée contains over
13g/100g of total dietary fiber, several times more than other fruit purées. - Research conducted by Doehler and Ghent University in Belgium found that Baobab
Fruit fiber’s prebiotic effect on probiotic gut bacteria is as powerful as the ‘gold
standard’ prebiotic inulin, but at half the dose. This is supported by multiple studies
into the Hadza, a hunter-gatherer tribe in Tanzania who consume large amounts of
Baobab Fruit throughout the year, which have found that they have one of the most
diverse gut microbiomes on the planet. Researchers have suggested that this is due to
the high soluble fiber content in their diet.
