About Baobab fruit

Baobab fruit is the hard-shelled fruit of baobab trees. Inside the shell, the edible pulp is dry and crumbly, surrounding seeds and fibrous material. The pulp is pale and powdery, with a tart, tangy flavour; it is unlike the juicy flesh of many fresh fruits.

The pulp is commonly separated from the shell and used as a powder, mixed into drinks or foods, or rehydrated. Whole fruit, sifted pulp, and commercial powders can differ in seed and fibre content and in any additional processing. “Baobab fruit” therefore needs an edible-part distinction when used as a food record.
