Baobab<\/strong> – is a great source of inspiration and provider of a “super fruit”<\/strong>. The trees scientific name reads Adansonia digitata<\/strong>. They belong to the family of Malvaceae<\/strong>. Baobabs can be found in Africa south of the Sahara in dry and hot savannah<\/a><\/strong> areas, botanical gardens around the globe and increasingly on window sills in Europe. If a Baobab collapses and\/or is uprooted it can still survive and drive new shoots out of its stem or branches.<\/p>\n

Baobabs are real survivalists<\/strong> – they are frugal creatures living in areas with meagre soils and little rainfall. Their ability to regenerate<\/strong> themselves is legendary. They can balance out damage of their bark and branches to a very high extent. If a Baobab collapses and\/or is uprooted it can still survive and drive new shoots out of its stem or branches. The fruit<\/strong> of Baobabs contain highly valuable ingredients. They are well known for their high percentage of vitamin C<\/strong>. Nowadays the fruit contents spread out in food and beauty markets worldwide – called “super fruits” or “superfoods”.<\/p>\n

This blog grows into a colorful mix of stories, myths, photographs, paintings, information, facts, care tips and more. I love travelling to baobab locations and usually I am up to something “baobab”. No matter if I travel or speak to people anywhere – most have some interesting story or facts to share about the giant trees.<\/p>\n

I would love to host posts of guests about baobabs on this blog. If you are interested and feel that you would like to contribute, please contact me at info@baobabstories.com or HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n
