About Baobab seed oil

Baobab seed oil is an edible oil pressed from seeds found inside baobab fruit. It is a liquid oil, usually pale yellow to golden, with a mild, nutty flavour. The oil is distinct from the dry, tart fruit pulp and from whole baobab seeds.

It can be used as a cooking or finishing oil and is also sold for non-food uses. Products vary according to whether the oil is cold-pressed or refined and how it is filtered or stored. The catalogue name does not establish the pressing method or whether a particular product is intended for eating.
