Superfruit With Three Times Orange's Vitamin C Hits UK Markets
The baobab fruit has been revered in Africa for thousands of years for its health benefits, and now an EU ruling has enabled the fruit pulp to be imported for the first time to the UK.
British manufacturers are already starting to produce products containing it.
The fruit of the baobab tree looks like a velvety coconut on the outside and its white, powdery pulp looks like sherbet and has a cheese-like texture.
It can be blended with anything and is highly nutritious and packed with antioxidants, iron and potassium.
The shell is extremely difficult to crack so it will not be available to buy as a whole fruit in Britain but will instead be used as an ingredient.
The fruit powder has a unique, tangy taste described as "caramel pear with subtle overtones of grapefruit".
The baobab, which is also known as the upside-down tree, is cherished by African villagers who believe its spirit protects them. Only specially trained climbers are allowed up the tree to pick the fruit.
