Some people call baobab a super food, this is because of its high level of nutrients like vitamin C and calcium. Now it is catching up in western countries. In 2009 the US Department of Agriculture has approved Baobab fruit to be imported to USA, in 2008 UK did the same thing. I am not sure if we will see this fruit in our grocery stores very soon, but that is good news for Baobab juice lovers.
These are the nutrition facts:
- This fruit has more than 6 times vitamin C than in oranges
- Two times more calcium than in cow milk
- High in potassium
- High in phosphorus
- Contains niacin
- Contains riboflavin
- High in anti-oxidants than in berries and pomegranate
- This is a very good fruit for pregnant and breast feeding women.

Hi All,
I’m interested to start business on baobab fruits in the East African region; can anyone tell me how much baobab Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda produce in a year. I know we don’t have enough baobab to build stats for in Burundi and Rwanda.
looking forward to reading from you

Habari everyone,
I am from Kenya but I now live in the States, and I am pregnant craving mabuyu na achari. Can someone please tell me where I can order them onnline and have them delivered.
Asante sana.
There are a few companies that could export Baobab powder for you in Tanzania. They sent me their information, but I do not have their websites yet. I am not comfortable yet to put their information here on my website. But I will put their information once I visit them in Tanzania to make sure they are genuine.
For now, there is a company based in UK that do sale the Baobab. http://www.mightybaobab.com I have been in touch with them via email but i have not tried to order from them yet. You can contact them if you want to try. Then you will tell me about their service so that we can help other people who are looking for baobab.
Baobab business here in Tanzania is normaly done locally by women to school children. but in infact baobao fruits/powder can be exported in large quantity if the ordering companies abroad can reveal information concernig prices, and terms of payment. the Producing centers are Dodoma, Singida and Tabora. If in need please email me

Please email me once the book is out next year. And many thanks for your information. Taste of Tanzania is also to educate people about Tanzanian food and food industry.

I am one of the suppliers of Ubuyu oil from Dodoma Tanzania. I have taped the internal market especially in Dodoma itself, Dar es salaam, Mbeya and Arusha. I am planning to extend the market to other parts of the Country, later on else where in the World when necessary.
Apart from ubuyu oil we have ubuyu powder which is used to make juice and is added in the porridge as a nutrient.
Dear Ulisaja,
Do you mind to publish your email here on the comment so that others can contact you.
Hi N. J. Ulisaja,
I am Kenyan lady and deal with baobab for business, plse can we connect for business purposes?
Sister Rose, I am now using Baobab oil. It is even better. There about four small oil pressing plants in Dodoma town. The oil has become very popular in Tanzania now. A little of oil goes for 50,000 to 80,000 Tz shillings in Dar-es-Salaam. The price is likely to drop in the future if processing plants increases and supply improves.
Kaka Siza,
I am planning to do something with Baobab oil. Someone told me about the baobab oil. I will let you know when everything is finalized. The oil is very healthy.

This is interesting. There are many Boab ( Australian) and Baobab trees (Africa) and I have no idea which tree is the source of the antioxidant – does anyone? However, please, don’t worry about the calories – worry about your sugar intake!
SO glad to learn about this wonderful, healthy Ubuyu fruit. Looking forward to taste it.
Thank you,
J & C

i love ubuyus but can somebody tell me the amout of calouries it has? is it a lot??
i love baobab
Does anyone know how to make ubuyu, with the color coating, sugar, and water…? I just got it from Tanzania raw, but I dont know how to make it
Ubuyu does not have to be made. It can just be sucked till you reach the seed which can then be disposed off.
It has sweet soury taste very similar to Tamarind
Naushad,
Many Tanzanian prefer sugar coated ubuyu. I am one of them.
Just add lots of sugar in little water(mixed with food coloring) until it melts, boil for a while then put the ubuyu in the syrup. Take it out and leave it to cool. don’t leave the ubuyu to dry completely. Put in a plastic bag before it is completely dry.

Wow…i have been sucking the sugar coated mabuyu since my childhood to date but I had no idea of the benefits it has. This type of snack is very common in Mombasa. Also, I didn’t know you could make baobab juice. I will definitely try the recipe when I go back home.
Thanks for the share.
