did you know about Baobab powder??

Post by eloine »

Hi guys,
I just discovered this super fruit that is really cheap (I bought a 250g bag for 2 Euros in African food stores in Paris) ,I love it, it is very sweet and can be a healthy alternative to white sugar ...and did you know it contains lot of calcium and iron???
just wanted to share with you, as it's not very well known...and can be interesting for vegans, because it's not that easy to find vegan sources of iron and calcium in my opinion (this stuff is said to have 2 times more calcium than milk and contains 6 times more vitamin c than oranges + more iron than red meat as well (and absorbable within the body because of the high level of vitamin c) it is said to cure malnutrition in old people.... and it is also one of the food with the highest ORAC score.
