Homemade Baobab Powder An Easy DIY Recipe

Homemade Baobab Powder Recipe

With just a few simple steps, you can make your own nourishing baobab powder right at home.

Ingredients
  

  • Fresh baobab fruit
  • Dehydrator (optional)
  • Food processor, high speed blender or coffee grinder
  • Fine mesh sieve
  • Glass jar for storage

Instructions
 

  • Obtain fresh pods - Harvest fresh baobab pods when possible. If using store-bought, opt for raw dried pods.
  • Crack open pods - Break open pods and separate the white pulp from shells and fibers. Fresh pods will naturally crack open when dry.
  • Dehydrate pulp (optional) - Place separated pulp on mesh dehydrator sheets and dehydrate 6-12 hours until completely dry. Drying helps pulverize into powder. Skip if using pre-dried pulp.
  • Process into powder - Add dry pulp to your blender, food processor, or coffee grinder. Blend on high until a fine powder consistency is reached. May take a few minutes to get powder as smooth as possible.
  • Sift powder - Sift powder through a mesh strainer into a glass jar to remove any chunks. Add any remaining bits back into blender and re-blend into powder again.
  • Store - Keep powder in sealed glass jar in a cool dry place like the fridge or pantry. Will stay fresh up to one year when stored properly.
