Lentoc’s Sweetened Baobab Fruit Powder is a nutrient-dense, shelf-stable agro-processed blend designed to bring the superfruit benefits of African baobab (Adansonia digitata) to everyday consumers. By pairing raw, wild-harvested baobab pulp with balanced sweetening agents, it eliminates the harsh sharpness of pure citric pulp while retaining maximum nutritional integrity and functional versatility.
Composition & Nutritional Profile
• Core Ingredients: Pure baobab fruit pulp (sourced from Northern Nigeria) and food-grade sweetener.
• Vitamin C Content: Naturally abundant in ascorbic acid, delivering up to 7–10 times more Vitamin C than oranges per weight, aiding immune function and collagen synthesis.
• Dietary Fiber: Rich in soluble and insoluble fiber (over 40% raw fiber equivalent), supporting healthy digestion, gut microbiota, and sustained energy production without rapid glucose spikes.
• Mineral Profile: High concentrations of bioavailable calcium, potassium, magnesium, and iron to support bone health and electrolyte balance.
• Antioxidants: High ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values, protecting cells against oxidative stress.
Sensory Attributes & Solubility
• Flavor Profile: Tangy-sweet, citrusy, and refreshing, balancing natural tartness (from malic, citric, and tartaric acids) with smooth sweetness.
• Texture & Color: Fine, off-white to pale cream powder with consistent grain distribution for effortless blending.
• Solubility: Quickly reconstitutes in chilled or room-temperature liquids without heavy sediment settlement.
Key Functional Applications
• Ready-to-Drink Beverage Base: Serves as a standalone instant juice powder—simply mix with water and ice.
• Food & Dairy Additive: Easily stirs into yogurt, porridge, smoothies, oatmeal, and cereal bowls as a flavor and nutrition booster.
• Baking & Confectionery: Acts as a functional flour enhancer or flavoring agent in energy bars, pastries, and healthy snacks.
Packaging & Preservation
• Packaged in moisture-proof, light-shielding food-grade barrier pouches/containers to protect heat-sensitive Vitamin C and maintain physical flowability without clumping.
• Requires no refrigeration prior to opening; stores efficiently in cool, dry conditions with an extended shelf life.
