LEAD PRODUCT
Baobab Fruit Powder
The dried pulp of the baobab fruit, milled fine — nothing added, nothing extracted. Naturally high in vitamin C and fibre, with a clean citrus-sherbet tang that formulators use for flavour balance, sugar reduction and label-friendly fortification.
- EU novel-food authorised (baobab fruit pulp)
- Lab-tested every batch
- Lot-level traceability
- Organic certification in progress
“Every lot can answer for itself.”
— Omnisource traceability promise
Our baobab powder is wild-harvested, collected from living trees by local collector groups — most of them women — in the drylands of Kitui, Makueni and the Kilifi coast. No tree is cut. No spray ever touches these trees; they simply grow. Every bag is tagged with its collection area on the spot. That tag becomes the lot code on your Certificate of Analysis.
