Bonga Foods New Product Line and WIN – Bonga Foods Prize Pack

Disclaimer: I have teamed up with Bonga Foods in support of this campaign. We received compensation for participation in this campaign. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

The word Bonga means “gratitude” in Zulu, a word three moms took to heart when they started their company, Bonga Foods. The idea for Bonga Foods was sprouted when Mary Grace, Nancy Nehoray, and Michaeline Heydari saw potential in the fruit of the gigantic Baobab tree and decided to turn the nutritious super-food into a delicious super-snack, in both powder and chewable form.

Growing all over South Africa, the baobab fruit is a wild-harvested super fruit bursting with ten times more antioxidants than blueberries and naturally rich in fiber and vitamin C. It’s been acknowledged as having “six times as much vitamin C as oranges, twice as much calcium as milk, and plenty of B vitamins, magnesium, iron, phosphorous, and antioxidants.” (via Forbes) Bonga Foods’ Baobab Powder is just as impressive, consisting of over 50% fiber by weight, the majority of which is soluble fiber. That’s over 10 times the antioxidant power of blueberries, pomegranate, goji berries, and even açaí, and gram for gram, it has more calcium than milk. The powder is great for mixing into baked goods, adding to yogurt, smoothies, or even mixing into your water-bottle, and the chews themselves are just as healthy and tasty, and come in four flavors including Raspberry, Strawberry, Mango, and Pomegranate.

Really reinforcing the company’s central theme of “gratitude”, 10% of Bonga Foods proceeds go back to the women who harvest the baobob trees through the Bonga Foundation, an organization set up to give back to the harvesters and their families and to help protect the ancient trees. You can learn more about the Bonga Foundation HERE.

The company just launched a Kickstarter HERE where you can purchase the chews, and help spread the word to let people know about this delicious, nutritious super-snack. If they raise enough money, they plan to expand the product line to include chews from two other great superfoods, the Chia and Moringa. Help support a company with a purpose with these healthy, tasty chews and powder.
