Baobab (Mabuyu) Juice
Baobab (bay-oh-bab) a very healthy fruit found in almost all countries of Africa, is just starting to gain popularity in the western world. The white part of the seed can be used as an ingredient in different kind of recipes that ask for tamarind or lime, in Tanzania, baobab is mainly used to make juice or eaten as candy if coated with sugar and color. Sometimes it is hard to differentiate baobab juice from tamarind Juice.
If you are using baobab powder (can be purchased in the internet), mix 2 tbsp of baobab powder with 1 ½ cups of water. Or follow package instructions.

- Add 3-4 cups of water to baobab juice.
- Add sugar.

Mabuyu is a good income generating product when well prepared. For those in abroad I can export to you both the prepared, sugar and colour made mabuyu and the original plain from the shell. Just contact me through this email address: ruxkse@gmail.com
The southern region esp. Lindi from where I come has lots of baobab trees.
Im still enjoying these seeds!!
Just cant get enough of it!!!
Mtanzania halisi,
I am looking for alot of baobab dried fruit (pulp + seed).
When you boil mabuyu to make juice the nutrients get destroyed. It is better to mix with water or add to juice and you will get nutritious mabuyu juice.

I remember in Zanzibar as kids in the 50s, we used to buy salted roasted baobab seeds. So I think you may try doing that the way we do karanga (peanuts)
