English: Three examples of typical mature fruits of the Adansonia digitata baobab tree. Somewhat lightweight for their size, the skin is now very hard. The greenish outer covering which gives the fruits a velvety appearance, (but is somewhat irritating to the skin, so the fruits are typically handled only by their stems) wears off, thus the variance in colors as seen here. The pulp inside is very dry, so it can be stored as is, unlike other fruits. Called 'bouye' in Wolof, in Senegal, but names vary between languages and countries. High in vitamin C, it is a very tart fruit, so sugar is usually added to moderate the tartness. Scale: the largest of these shown measured 21 cm in length (not including stem) and 28 cm in circumference at the widest part.
