HOW TO USE BAOBAB

Increasingly, manufacturers are turning to baobab as a new ingredient for their NPD not only for its delicious sherbet-like flavour and nutritional benefits but for the range of functional benefits it can provide in recipe formulations. Here are just some of the many ways baobab powder can be used:

GLUTEN & GRAIN-FREE PRODUCTS - thanks to its high levels of soluble fibre, baobab contributes to the binding, bulking and thickening of products, which is particularly desirable in recipe formulations like gluten- and grain-free crackers, biscuits and cereal bars

VEGAN RECIPES - thanks to its binding properties baobab can substitute eggs (similar to flaxseed or chia seeds) and can be beneficial in vegan recipes such as vegan cookies, cakes, muffins, patties and burgers

THICKENER/PRESERVATION AGENT – due to baobab’s high levels of pectin (a source of fibre) and citric acid (vitamin C), baobab can be used as a binding, thickening, gelling and preserving agent in products like jams, sauces, chutneys, marinades and condiments

RAISING AGENT – baobab contains organic acids (citric, tartaric, malic and succinic) which can help activate baking soda and enhance its effectiveness as a raising agent. This also adds lightness and sponginess to baked goods such as cakes, muffins and breads

COATING – as baobab comes in powder form and is rich in fibre, it can be used to absorb moisture and prevent stickiness as a substitute to flour in products like dried and/or candied fruit

NUTRITIONAL BOOST & DELICIOUS FLAVOUR – baobab’s range of health benefits and sweet and critussy flavour makes it the perfect addition to cereals, ice creams, smoothies/juices, desserts, yoghurts, chocolates and many other food products
