Variation in biochemical composition of baobab (Adansonia digitata) pulp, leaves and seeds in relation to soil types and tree provenances

► The study showed that leaves, pulp and seeds of baobab, are sources of nutrients in Africa where the species occurs. ► The found genetic differentiation in baobab does not always induce variability in the nutritional value of its parts. ► Baobab individuals are established on various types of soils ranging from acidic to basic and from clayey to sandy soils. ► Physicochemical characteristics of soil seem to influence the nutritive value of baobab parts.
