File:Baobab fruit, mature dry pulp removed - Adansonia digitata.jpg

English: One dry, mature fruit of the baobab split in half; showing one half with the dry whitish opaque pulp containing seeds still intact, the other half showing the same quantity of pulp removed from the hard skin to show that it easily separates into chunks with connecting fibers. Each chunk of whitish opaque fruit pulp contains clusters of multiple dark brown seeds. Called 'bouye' in Wolof in Senegal (names vary between languages and countries), the dry pulp dissolves easily in water to separate the pulp from the seeds and fibers to make baobab juice. High in vitamin C, it is a very tart fruit; sugar is usually added to moderate the tartness. Can be eaten as is - the whitish fruit chunks dissolve in the mouth and the seeds are discarded. Scale of this sample fruit (not including the stem) measured at 21 cm long and 28 cm in circumference at the widest; the hard skin was at 1 cm in thickness. Although the dark brown seeds are not visible inside the whitish, opaque fruit pulp there are a substantial number - this one fruit had 155. The seeds measured approx 1.2 cm each.
