The Origins of Our Baobab Powder
Our Baobab powder is sourced from The Baobab Fruit Company Senegal located in Thiès. Founded in 1999, BFCS was the first global producer of organic baobab raw materials. BFCS recognised the potential for baobab as superfood due its nutritionally dense contents. Since then, the company has grown into the leading global producer for baobab raw materials providing oils and extracts as well as powder. We chose to use BFCS because of their high-quality standards. They only use whole fruits in the production, which arrive at the facility in its natural protective shell. The fruit is then processed within 24 hours of being picked.
Baobab "Tree of Life"
Known as the “Tree of Life”, the baobab tree has held important significance in Africa for centuries. The baobab tree is a symbol of sustenance and life due its adaption to the harsh arid climate. The tree is a succulent, meaning that during the rainy season the Baobab tree absorbs and stores water in it’s trunk, which then produces the nutrient-rich fruit, known as "monkey bread" in the dry season. Baobab trees can live up to 3,000 years and can grow to 25 metres high!
