4. Africa’s ‘tree of life’
Baobabis a
multi-purpose tree; its
fruit pulp, seeds,
leaves, flowers, roots
and bark can be used
for human
consumption. Baobab
is high in vitamin C,
phosphorus, calcium,
fibre, carbohydrates,
protein, potassium and
lipids.

5. Baobab has a wide range of
active properties, such as
anti-malarial, anti-
inflammatory, antioxidant
and anti-microbial. The seeds
are used as a thickener for
meals, while its leaves are
eaten as a vegetable. Baobab
roots, leaves, bark, fruits and
seeds can also be used in
order to treat diarrhoea,
asthma, anaemia, infections
and skin disorders.

6. Moringa
The African Moringa tree, also
known as Moringa Stenopetala,
is a tree of wonder. Unlike one of
its relatives, the Moringa
Oleifera tree, the African Moringa
develops a trunk that looks a lot
like a bulb. It is used by the tree,
to store water. The Moringa
Stenopetala is a fast-growing
tree, so you can almost see it
grow.

8. Fonio Grain
The gluten-free grain is part of the
millet family. It is rich in iron and
amino acids, and a source of zinc,
vitamin B1 and B3 and phosphorus.

10. Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or
we know where we can find information upon it.'
(Samuel Johnson, 1709-1784)
