Yozuna's Baobab LemonadeWe spotted that Yozuna’s deliciously zingy Baobab Lemonade is now selling in Bumblebee in London.  Of course we had to rush out and buy a few bottles – we had ours on ice with a slice of lemon, but were thinking about possibilities of creating a sneaky superfruit cocktail with a splash of vodka!  With raw 100% natural, organic, baobab sourced from PhytoTrade’s fair trade women’s cooperatives in Malawi, this is really a superfruit nutrition burst for your body!

It’s great to see that the Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International have announced new fair trade standards for baobab products. This means that buyers will pay a premium on top of market prices for every kilo of baobab fruit that will be used in a fair trade product. The end result? Baobab harvesters earn a living wage, which means that they’ll conserve and protect wild baobab trees so they can continue make a living from the fruit. Plus their quality of life will improve, as they have funds for school fees, food, health care and other daily necessities. Fair trade baobab just tastes better, cos its good for you, good for Africa, and good for the environment. Can’t say fairer than that.
