One of the most humble fruits ever. Used to spend a few cents on a pod when we were growing up. One would crack open the outer shell, eat the white powdery seeds the way you’d eat sweets to expose a hardy little seed. If time was on your side, you’d crack the little seeds further and voila...tasty nut!
That was many years ago. Never knew that I’d come across baobab powder being sold in a UK health food store but at such an eye watering price.
Then again, it takes loads of shelling to produce a decent amount of powder.
It’s a very mouthwatering delicacy, will probably buy a packet now that it’s trending as a superfood!
Here’s to hoping that prices won’t become too dear for locals in the long run especially when Western demand exceeds supply.
Still, sustainable projects like these can potentially drive many out of poverty👏🏾

If they are so wonderful, why aren't the local people eating them instead of selling them?

The statistics are of no interest to the locals. They just know that food in its most natural, freshest form is for eating. No nutritionist or any other 'professional' in the same category, required for crying out loud! 🤦♀️🙇♀️
