Femme Organics Lime Mabuyu, (Baobab Candy)

Baobab (Ubuyu) is a tree that grows in Africa, Australia, and the Middle East. Every part of the tree has traditionally been used as food, and as medicine. The baobab fruit seeds and powder are rich in vitamin C and believed to have antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Baobab fruit is edible, and baobab seed powder is used in foods because of its nutrients, possible health benefits, and as a natural preservative.

It is a good source of vitamin C, potassium, carbohydrates, and phosphorus. The fruit is found inside hard pods that hang upside down from the tree. It has a citrus flavor.

Keeps Skin and Hair Healthy

Baobab is high in vitamin C, which helps the body absorb other nutrients more easily. Even more, it plays an important role in protecting skin and hair.

Regulates Body Fluids

This fruit seeds also includes high levels of potassium, magnesium, and calcium, which are electrolytes that stimulate muscles and nerves as well as regulate body fluids. For physically active people, electrolyte loss can be a concern, so having some baobab powder on hand is a good way to maintain this balance.

Protects and Repairs Cells

Baobab is one of the world's richest sources of antioxidants, which are important for overall health because they help delay, repair, or prevent the damage to our cells caused by free radicals. This cell damage can result in serious health conditions such as diabetes, Alzheimer's, and cataracts.

Maintains Gastrointestinal Health

Also rich in dietary fiber, baobab can support digestion and improve satiety, meaning you'll feel full longer.

Controls Blood Sugar

Fiber can also help control blood sugar levels, which prevents any sudden fluctuations that may lead to feelings of fatigue, headaches, and, over the long-term, serious health conditions like diabetes.
