Baobab is the name of a fruit belonging to the genus of trees Adansonia. It is found inside hard pods that hang from the underside of trees. Baobab is usually eaten in the form of a powder obtained from harvested, dried, and ground fruit. It has a pleasant, citrusy flavor. Consuming baobab fruit confers many wellness benefits, including:

• May help manage blood sugar levels

A 2013 study looked at whether baobab could reduce the glycemic response (blood sugar levels) when incorporated into white bread or mixed with water. The study found that not only is baobab rich in polyphenols (plant compounds with protective antioxidant properties), but it actually reduces starch digestion and glycemic responses in humans.

• Is antimicrobial and antiviral

A few papers have studied baobab for its antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties, but more research is needed to confirm which part of the plant is most beneficial.

• Is rich in protective antioxidants

Baobab is packed with plant compounds, including polyphenols that protect cells from damage and help manage inflammation. A number of animal studies suggest that the rind and pulp of the fruit may help reduce inflammation levels.

• May promote satiety

Baobab is high in fiber, which makes it useful for helping to reduce appetite and possibly support weight management goals. One small study supported the use of baobab to reduce hunger and have a positive influence on weight management.
