The baobab fruit(Adansonia Digitata L.) originally grew in Africa. Some baobab trees have been documented to be up to 1000 years old. This tree is often called the "ancient tree of life". The trunks can hold more than 100,000 litres of water, which helps the trees survive long periods of drought. The fruit is found inside the hard parts that hang upside down from the tree. The fruit of the baobab tree has a citrus taste and is rich in vitamins and minerals.

History

Traditionally, the baobab is used to make a delicious, sour, healthy drink that is especially popular among pregnant women, children and the elderly. In various parts of East Africa, the dried flesh of the fruit is dipped in a sugar coating (usually red in colour) and sold in packets as sweet and sour sweets called 'umbuyu'. The seeds are usually used as a thickener in soups, but they can also be fermented to make spices, roasted for direct consumption or pressed for oil. The dried pulp is either eaten fresh or added to porridge. In Tanzania, it is added during the sugar cane brewing process to improve fermentation.

Dobrý den,

ráda bych užívala Baobab, ale kojím 7 měsíční dceru. Mohu ho užívat i přesto - případně v jakém dávkování? A mohla by ho se mnou užívat dcera 3,5 roku? - případně taktéž prosím dávkování.

Děkuji za odpověď

Michaela Ptáčková odpověděl:

Krásný den, Jitko,

prášek z baobabu je pouze usušené ovoce, takže není třeba se obávat. (Bohužel jakožto doplněk stravy musí mít na obalu legislativní informaci o nedoporučení v těhotenství a malým dětem.) Teď je přesně jeho doba, Je skvělý do vody, do limonád, jelikož má osvěžující citrusovou chuť. Dávkujte dle chuti, např. lýíci do litru vody. Je velice bohatý na antioxidanty a vitamín C, takže podporuje imunitu a mladistvý vzhled.

S pozdravem Michaela

Dobrý den, v parametrech tohoto výrobku nevidím kolonku vegan. Znamená to, že baobab v biokvalitě není veganský? Děkuji za odpověď, s pozdravem Eva

Sandra Zlatkovská odpověděl:

Krásný den Evi,

baobab je samozřejmě vegan. Děkujeme za upozornění a v parametrech to opravíme :)

S pozdravem, Sandra Vitalvibe

Dobrý den, prosím,ráda bych využívala denně do šťáv nebo smoothies Baobab bio prášek,je možné také konzumovat spirulinu bio prášek nebo acai bio prášek ten den i v jiných nápojích?Mohu je kombinovat?Děkuji.S pozdravem Eva

Michaela Ptáčková odpověděl:

Krásný den, Evo, ano, je to možné konzumovat i dohromady, baobab je sladký, spirulina vyváží ovoce, aby nepřekyselovalo, acai zvýší obsah vlákniny a antioxidantů.
