Baobab Powder (organic) is a baobab tree (Adansonia digitata) which is a deciduous tree native to Africa and is typically found in dry, hot sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar and Arabia, as well as in arid areas in Australia. Its name ‘baobab’ is derived from Arabic and means “father of many seeds”. It is also known as monkey bread tree, cream of tartar tree and upside down tree, due to it looking like an uprooted tree standing on its end. In Africa it’s known as the Tree of Life because all parts of the tree are used for food, drink and other necessary items. It’s thought the trees could live to be as old as 1,500 years. With its disproportionately thick trunk relative to its height and sparse branches, the tree produces heavy white flowers which are pollinated at night by fruit bats and become long green or brownish fruits that look like small gourds. The fruit has a hard shell, kidney-shaped seeds, and soft, creamy white pulp that is slightly powdery and gritty. Baobab fruit is tart and has a unique, pleasant fruity flavor. Baobab is low in fat, high in soluble and insoluble fiber, including pectin, and high in vitamin C. It is also a good source of potassium, iron, magnesium, calcium and also contains phytosterols, zinc, manganese, phosphorus and B vitamins.

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea italica) is an edible green plant belonging to the cabbage family. This cruciferous vegetable is best cultivated in cool weather and grows 18-30 inches tall. Both the stem and the large head of tight green flower buds can be consumed raw or cooked. Very low in fat and high in soluble fiber, broccoli provides protein and is packed with phytochemicals that include glucobrassicin, the carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin and beta-carotene, and the flavonoid kaempferol. Broccoli also contains glucoraphanin (the precursor to sulforaphane) and Indole-3-carbinol. It has a high level of folate and calcium, and is a good source of potassium, vitamin C and pyridoxine. Broccoli sprouts, closely resembling alfalfa sprouts, are reported to contain 10-100 times the amount of glucoraphanin than full-grown broccoli and also contain a rich supply of Vitamin K, but less beta-carotene and vitamin C than full-grown broccoli.

Kale (Brassica oleracea acephala) is a member of the Brassica family which includes other cool weather vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts and cabbage. Grown for its edible leaves, which are typically light green to dark green or purple, kale’s leaves stand upright and are not packed tight into a head like cabbage leaves, which is why it is called ‘acephala’, meaning headless in Greek. One of the most nutrient-dense foods available, Kale is an excellent source of vitamins C and K, potassium, iron, copper and manganese. It is a good source of vitamin E, several B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, amino acids and dietary fiber, and also contains some alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 essential fatty acid. Kale is also a very good source of numerous plant compounds like chlorophyll, the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, flavonoids like kaempferol and quercetin, and glucosinolates, which are broken down into biologically active compounds such as indoles like indole-3- carbinol, and isothiocyanates like sulforaphane.

Acai berries are a rich source of polyphenolic compounds, especially the flavonoids known as anthocyanins, which give the berry its characteristic deep purple color.

Mango fruit (Mangifera indica) are juicy, sweet tropical fruits native to South Asia. Mango trees can grow to 130 feet tall and they bear fruits that take 4-5 months from flowering to when they ripen. The fruit, varying in size, shape, color, texture and sweetness, are round, oval, or kidney-shaped, and can grow up to 10 inches long. Mangoes are packed with dietary fiber, including the soluble fiber, pectin. They are a very good source of vitamin C, a good source of vitamin B6, and provide over 20 other vitamins and minerals. Mango fruits are abundant in polyphenolic compounds such as mangiferin, catechins, quercetin, kaempferol, astragalin, rhamnetin, anthocyanins, gallic and ellagic acids, propyl and methyl gallate, benzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, and carotenoids like zeaxanthin, lutein, alpha-carotene and beta-carotene.

Lemon (Citrus limon), native to India and South Asia, is a small evergreen tree related to the orange, pomelo, tangerine and grapefruit. The ellipsoidal fruit has a green rind when unripe, which turns yellow when ripe, and the pulp is segmented and light yellow in color. Lemon juice is used in a wide variety of beverages and foods, and it can also be used as a preservative for a short period of time on foods that oxidize, because its high acid content slows down the oxidation effect of enzymes. Famous for their sour taste as a result of their high citric acid content, lemons are also an excellent source of naturally occurring vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, and contain the plant compound, citrus limonin. Like other citrus fruits, lemons contain a variety of phytochemicals like the flavonoid glycosides hesperetin, naringin, and naringenin, as well as containing smaller amounts of flavonoids like ß-carotenes, ß-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and lutein. They are a good source of dietary fiber and contain a number of vitamins and minerals, including B-vitamins (niacin, folate, thiamin, riboflavin, folate, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine) as well as zinc, magnesium, copper, iron, calcium and potassium.
