Ok! By this time I’m sure all of us can recite every superfruit by heart. I know this was the year of Acai, or was that last year, no I think last year was Pomegranate or was it Noni, no it might have been Mangosteen.

Well in walks Baobab, now come on is that a fruit or a Disney Pixar character? After a bit of research being the food nerd that I passionately am I can confidently say that it’s the latest and the greatest on the scene of Exotic Super Fruits. This fruit grows all over the African Savanna, rural populations chow down on this this plant daily…hmmm? maybe that’s why they can run marathons like it’s a walk in the park.

This baby has more calcium than milk, more iron than red meat, more potassium than a banana, loads of B vitamins, and more magnesium than spinach…What!! is this for real? It seems that this incredible nutrient dense super fruit is not only used in foods but we can also find it in face and body goodies as well as supplements…finally something with a multi purpose. Does that mean I can eat my face cream for breakfast?…must research that one.
