A very informative article on Baobab fruit, its benefits and uses. Thank you for this as well as some interesting facts like it having more calcium than milk.

In reply to Ihuoma Inwere. That's amazing! Thanks for confirming that baobab is safe when breastfeeding and even for babies and children. I didn't know that it can make your teeth more sensitive. I will keep that in mind for the future.

I own a couple of Baobab trees in my farm in Nigeria. I eat the pulp all the time and enjoy the rich cream feel in my mouth. The nursing women from the community, where the farm is, use the fruit both for themselves,their babies and children. With regards to dosage, I can crack a small baobab open and eat half of the pod and I have never had any issues (should make sense since it is natural and harvested straight from the wild). The only thing you should be mindful of is the fact that it makes your teeth somewhat sensitive if you consume too much at a time.

In reply to Erika.

Hi Erika, this is very unusual as baobab is known to have no toxicity or safety concerns, basically there shouldn’t be any side effects using it. Are you sure it was baobab and not the yogurt? Have you ever had any issues with dairy products? Was it a plain yogurt? How much of baobab powder did you use? (hopefully not too much!) Did you eat anything else on the day that could give you these issues?
I personally haven’t had any issues with it whatsoever but I know everybody is different.

I tried Baobab powder in yogurt for the first time and I had severe bloating and stomach pain. Has anyone else experienced this and if so did you try it again? I really want this to work for me but I’m afraid to try again. 😔

I’ve never heard of this Baobab fruit but it really looks good. I hope i could try this but I don’t think I would be able to ship it to my country.

In reply to Linda Haines. No, I don't think that's the case. Baobab powder contains vitamin C and this should actually HELP with wrinkles.

We have a lot of Baobab fruit powder in Northern Ghana. And it is common over here.

In reply to Sam. I am not sure I can give you a good advice on this but from my experience I've used baobab powder longer that it was recommended after opening it. It was recommended to use it within 3 months after you open it but I used it past that. As it is a powder and dry I don't think it will become harmful after a while. I think the worst it can happen is that some nutrients will get lost.
