Baobab: The Quiet Superfruit in Every Spoon
At Avrio, we love ingredients that speak softly but work hard. Baobab is one of them.
Naturally rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, baobab powder comes from the fruit of the Adansonia tree, often called the “Tree of Life” found in parts of Africa and revered for centuries for its nutritional properties.
We mix baobab into every compote not because it sounds trendy, but because it does the work quietly, like the rest of our bowls.
Why It Matters
Gut health & digestion: Baobab is an excellent source of soluble and insoluble fiber, supporting digestion and feeding your gut microbiota. One study found it promotes short-chain fatty acid production, which plays a key role in gut and immune health [Coelho et al., 2013].
Natural antioxidant defense: Baobab is exceptionally high in polyphenols and vitamin C both linked to reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. These compounds help support your body’s daily recovery, especially in active lifestyles.
Immune & energy support: Just 10g of baobab can deliver over 30% of your recommended daily vitamin C a cofactor in collagen synthesis, immunity, and iron absorption. And because it’s naturally occurring (not fortified), it’s gentler on the system.
Why We Use It in Every Compote
Baobab gives our fruit layers a subtle tang and a functional lift. It enhances flavor, stabilizes texture, and adds nutrient density without processed thickeners or artificial “boosts.”
In short, it’s the kind of ingredient we build Avrio around: Naturally functional. Soft-spoken. Strong.
