Good For You Friday: Baobab

That’s not what you think it is, but it will give you energy and speed up your metabolism… Baobab (pronounced BEY-oh-bab) is the next big superfood, and as far as I can tell, it blows the rest of them out of the water.  Baobab fruit hangs from the African Baobab Tree, or, “The Tree of Life”.  The…
