Baobab fruit is rich in antioxidants -- it contains double the amount of the healing compounds than goji berries. Antioxidants help fight against the build-up of harmful free radicals in the body. Free radicals can cause cell damage that leads to conditions such as heart disease and cancer. Eating a diet with plenty of antioxidant-rich foods such as baobab can help prevent free radical damage and lower the risk of some illnesses.
