Day 2 of the 10-Day Bloom Launch Giveaway

Baobab 

Baobab is a 100% natural & organic African superfruit that dries on the branch. It is a rich source of Vitamin C (a single dose provides 33% of your daily requirement), almost 50% fibre and has more antioxidants than any fruit. The human body can not make its own vitamin C (unlike other animals), so we need to make sure we get a good supply from the foods we eat every day. A single serving of Baobab Powder (10g or 2-3 teaspoons) provides 33% of your daily Vitamin C requirement.Vitamin C is essential to the effective functioning of our bodies for a number of reasons. It contributes to normal:

• Collagen formation supporting healthy skin, teeth, gums, cartilage, bones and blood vessels
• Energy release, energy-yielding metabolism, and reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• Immune function
• Functioning of the nervous system and psychological function
• Protection of cells from oxidative stress
• Absorption of iron vitamin C actually increases your body’s absorption of iron, which is why vitamin C-rich baobab and iron-rich moringa work so well together

Did you know that 80% of people in the UK don’t eat enough fibre? A habit that often starts in childhood and carries through to our adult life. Baobab is almost 50% fibre. There are two types of fibre that your body needs: soluble and insoluble – and baobab contains equal quantities of both. The soluble fibre in baobab helps slow down the release of sugar into the bloodstream, reducing energy spikes. Fibre can help maintain a healthy digestive system including bowel regularity and can be helpful for weight management as it helps you feel fuller for longer.

If you think you’re not having enough fiber check out my Leftover Juice Pulp Carrot Cake Recipe which is packed with fiber and has Aduna’s Baobab powering up the icing with flavour, antioxidants and Vitamin C.

The fantastic thing is that Aduna’s model also provides an alternative to aid in rural Africa. By creating demand for under-utilised natural products that grow wildly and freely, they can source them directly from small-scale farmers, which in turn provides them with a sustainable source of income and brings development into the area. This is a far better model that empowers people, rather than offering aid without teaching them a skill. Kudos to that!
