Lentoc’s Unsweetened Baobab Fruit Powder is a 100% pure, unadulterated superfruit ingredient made directly from the wild-harvested pulp of the African baobab fruit (Adansonia digitata). Free from added sugars, preservatives, carriers, or artificial additives, this raw, minimally processed powder delivers the full, authentic potency and natural tart flavor of baobab in its most natural state.
Composition & Nutritional Profile
• Core Ingredients: 100% pure raw baobab fruit pulp (sourced from Northern Nigeria).

• Prebiotic Dietary Fiber: Composed of over 50% total dietary fiber (both soluble and insoluble), promoting optimal gut microbiome balance, smooth digestion, and blood sugar regulation.
• Essential Minerals: Rich in bioavailable potassium (6x more than bananas), calcium (2x more than milk), magnesium, and iron to support bone density and muscle function.
• Polyphenols & Antioxidants: Packed with natural organic acids (citric, malic, and tartaric) and polyphenols, offering high cellular defense against oxidative stress.

• Texture & Color: Fine, light cream to pale off-white powder with a dry, free-flowing consistency.
• Solubility: Dissolves smoothly into liquids, creating a light, cloudy dispersion with minor natural fiber settling.
Key Functional Applications
