This tree predates humans and is believed to have been on Earth before the continents separated over 200 million years ago. Baobab trees store water in their vast undulating trunks, giving nutrient-rich fruits in even the driest of seasons.

When Carlo Petrini first founded the Slow Food movement in the late 1980s, he was applauding local traditions of food heritage. While centuries of trade and agriculture have globalized our food habits, there are a few ingredients that remain steadfastly loyal to their origins. Slow Food accordingly promotes and supports these endangered products, their producers, and the local areas from which they originate. These ingredients are important for protecting unique regions and ecosystems, recovering traditional processing methods, and safeguarding native breeds and local plant varieties. These recipes were conceived by Slow Food Chefs’ Alliance cooks Filippa Harrington (South Africa), Alejandra Pais (Argentina) and the Nganoini garden’ community (Kenya).
