Femme Organics Baobab Fruit Powder

Dried baobab fruit powder is rich in antioxidants, especially vitamin C; it's high in potassium; and it contains good amounts of calcium, magnesium, and protein. It's also rich in fiber, which makes up about half of each serving. 
 

The fiber acts as a prebiotic, helping to maintain healthy bacteria in the gut. A British study, published in Nutrition Research, found that baobab fruit powder, mixed in water or baked into white bread, slowed the absorption of starchy food. This reduces spikes and crashes in blood sugar and energy. 
 

Researchers believe the fruit may block enzymes that break down starch and sugar, in addition to slowing absorption with its fiber content. 
 

It has been shown to be rich in antioxidants, and boasts anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antimicrobial properties. It's also a potent pain reliever and has been used traditionally to treat diarrhea and reduce fever. In fact, baobab has historically been used to treat dysentery, a life-threatening form of diarrhea, and fever associated with malaria.
