(Food-Beverage-News.Com, April 19, 2013 ) New York, NY -- Does the world really need another superfruit? Consumers are starting to get bleary eyed with all the new fruits that claim to have incredible health benefits. For this reason, it is understandable that there has been some skepticism about the claim that the Baobab Fruit is the next great superfruit. However, according to a new report by OrganicBaobabFruit.Net, the Baobab fruit really does have the nutritional profile to make it a super fruit.
The Baobab fruit is about 6-8 inches long and almost looks like a mini-coconut. The Baobab fruit grows on the Adansonia tree in Africa. The people of Africa actually have many names for the Adansonia trees including - the Tree of Life, The Upside Down Tree, The Monkey Bread Tree and simply, the Baobab Tree.
The Baobab fruit has a hard shell that you need to cut open to get at the Baobab pulp and seeds. Interestingly, the Baobab pulp is naturally dry. This means to make Baobab Powder, all you need to do is removed the seeds and mill up the Baobab pulp into a powder. No heat is necessary and no additional processing, all of this means that the nutrients in the Baobab pulp stay intact when Baobab is made into powder or supplements.
It is the nutrients of the Organic Baobab fruit that have scientists and researchers so excited. The Baobab fruit has twice the antioxidants of Acai or Goji berry. Simply put, there is no other fruit that has the antioxidant powers of the Baobab fruit. In addition, Baobab fruit has 6 times the potassium of a banana and 6 times the Vitamin C of Oranges.
Another unique health benefit of Baobab fruit is that it is 50% fiber, which is very rare for a fruit. Fiber has numerous health benefits and can help maintain a healthy digestive and cardiovascular system.
“The word superfruit is thrown around way too frequently these days...to the point where it is started to lose its meaning. The Baobab fruit really represents what a superfruit should be - packed with nutrients, providing health benefits to those who eat it and also helping the people who harvest it” states Susan Waters or OrganicBaobabfruit.net.
In their special report, the researchers at OrganicBaobabFruit.Net stress that it is important to get Baobab Fruit powder that is certified organic and tested for any harmful contaminants.
Waters concludes, “Baobab fruit is wild harvested, so you want to make sure the Baobab Fruit powder or Baobab Fruit pulp you purchases is full certified to be Organic and free of any harmful ingredients. As long as you are getting pure Baobab, you will be amazed at how wonderful you feel once you eat it!”
