Presenting… the New Superfruit!!!

Speculations are on… but the EU has finally given the green signal to Baobab fruit (pronounced bay-oh-bab), being presumed to be ‘king of all superfruits.’

Hailing from adansonia digitata, the only baobab species in Africa, the Baobab offers much more nourishment than any other fruit. Inside its velvet skin, the fruit is very much like a young coconut sans the long hairs.

The baobab is abundant in vitamin C, calcium and anti-oxidants. However, its taste is much of a disappointment on account of its alien powdered texture. In parts of Africa, the fruit is mixed with water to make a drink- rather tasteless.

Nevertheless, the baobab jam resembles dark honey and is more appetizing. The EU has given its approval to be used in smoothies and cereal bars.

It would be a rare sight to catch the baobab fruit in the supermarkets as it would be inconvenient to take it home and consume it; it would be used as an ingredient in health foods, drinks, cereals, and smoothies.
