"According to African folklore, the baobab tree was amongst the first to appear on the land, followed by the slender, graceful palm tree. The baobab was envious of the palm tree’s height and cried that it wanted to be taller. When the beautiful flame tree appeared, the baobab longed to have such vibrant flower blossoms. And when the baobab saw the magnificent fig tree, it prayed for fruit of its own. But the gods became angry with the baobab’s covetous nature, pulling it up by its roots and replanting it upside down to keep it quiet".-Chosan

According to Expedition Sub-Sahara article , "Senegalese legend has it that back in the day, entire villages would be built around a Baobab tree because it provides everything the people need to survive, from shelter to food and water. The Baobab is not actually a tree, though. It is a succulent, and like succulents, it stores water in its trunk and allows it to thrive in arid environments. Despite harsh, dry conditions, the tree produces a fruit that is one of the most nutrient-dense foods in the world. Bouye, the fruit it produces, can be cooked into full meals, from main courses to sauces and desserts (including my favorite!). And unlike other fruit trees, the fruit dries on the tree, with the pulp drying out inside the shell that can then be used to create a fruit powder. It’s rich in Vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants. Bark can be turned into rope and clothing, seeds can create oils and leaves are edible. If children have a stomachache, they’re given a drop of the fruit juice to settle their stomach".
