baobab
Another Baobab tree. There are some among my photo's. I just love them... one reason to go back to africa... This picture has been taken in October. It didn't rain sinds april. All Baobab trees were withour any leaves. I've been told as soon as it starts to rain the leaves will be back. The local people also told it's not normal for this time of the year.
The tree has fruit: The fruit can be used to produce cream of tartar.In various parts of East Africa, the dry fruit pulp is covered in sugary coating (usually with red coloring) and sold in packages as a sweet and sour candy called "ubuyu".
The seeds are mostly used as a thickener for soups, but may also be fermented into a seasoning, roasted for direct consumption, or pounded to extract vegetable oil. The tree also provides a source of fiber, dye, and fuel. (information as it is from wikepedia).
