Baobab Pulp
Whole-fruit African baobab pulp, 100 g. Thick, tart, a little chalky. Made to be stirred into something, or eaten off a spoon.
Ingredients: water, baobab fruit pulp. Fruttita™
Ingredients
Water, baobab fruit pulp.
That is the whole list. The pouch itself follows EU labelling, which leaves out water used to rehydrate a dried ingredient; we list it here anyway.
What is in it
Per 100 g of pulp, conservative values based on Eurofins finished-product analysis: dietary fiber about 9.6 g, potassium about 380 mg, total polyphenols about 350 mg, sodium 0 mg. The same data in the US label format is in the next item.
Nutrition Facts
About 25 calories a pouch, and they come with 10 g of fiber (36% of the Daily Value) and 380 mg of potassium. 12 g of carbohydrate, 10 of them fiber; 2 g of sugars; 0 mg of sodium. Total polyphenols about 350 mg per 100 g (conservative values based on Eurofins finished-product analysis).
Storage
Shelf life 12 months unopened. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Refrigerate after opening and finish within 7 days.
How to use
Knead the pouch first; the fiber settles. Squeeze onto a spoon or into a bowl rather than from the spout. One or two spoonfuls (20–30 g) into yogurt, oats or a smoothie is the usual amount; a whole pouch fits one blender.
Where is it made?
The fruit is wild-harvested in Africa, and the pulp is processed and packed there, at our own plant. It does not go anywhere else in between.
Tart, and thick.
pH about 3, like lemon juice, but the texture is closer to a fruit puree than a juice. Off the spoon it is sour; with yogurt or honey it settles down.
Naturally acidic. Just baobab pulp and water.
Eat it off a spoon. Knead the pouch first.
Fruit pulp, mostly fiber. That is the fruit.
Stir it into something.
- 01Yogurt
One or two spoonfuls into plain yogurt. The yogurt takes the edge off.
- 02Oats
Into overnight oats the night before. Open in the morning.
- 03Smoothie
A whole pouch, a banana, 200 mL of milk. Thirty seconds.
- 04Straight
Off a spoon, if you like sour. Start with a small one.

How is it different from the Shot?
Same fruit. The Shot is the pulp diluted with water to drink in one go. The Pouch is thicker, more concentrated pulp, meant to be mixed.
Can children eat it?
Yes. It's a food, not a supplement. It's quite tart, so most kids start with it mixed into yogurt.
How many servings in a pouch?
With yogurt at 20–30 g a time, three to five. In a smoothie, one.
Why has it separated?
The pulp settles and a lighter layer sits on top. That is the fruit, not a fault. Knead the pouch before squeezing.
Baobab pulp and water, nothing else. Tart, a little astringent, gone in one go.
