Caldic North America has partnered with KAIBAE to distribute its wild-harvested organic baobab fruit powder across North America. The collaboration expands Caldic's portfolio of organic fruit powders for nutrition brands and supports demand for naturally sourced vitamins, minerals, gut health, and GLP-1-supporting ingredients. Baobab offers a powerful nutritional profile rich in fiber, polyphenols, and vitamin C.
TORONTO, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Caldic North America is proud to announce a new partnership with KAIBAE, the pioneering brand behind the wild-harvested KAIBAE® Baobab Fruit Powder. Under this agreement, Caldic will distribute KAIBAE's organic baobab powder across North America to support the growing demand for naturally sourced, nutrient-rich ingredients in the nutrition and wellness space.
This collaboration reflects Caldic's ongoing commitment to expanding its portfolio of organic fruit powders to support the nutrition segment. The inclusion of KAIBAE® Baobab, also known as the "wild super fiber™," empowers brand partners to formulate products that meet increasing consumer interest in gut microbiome support, naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, and ingredients that support GLP-1 activity and healthy metabolism.
"We're thrilled to partner with KAIBAE as we continue to grow our organic and functional ingredients portfolio," said Lisa Rodwin, Commercial Director for Nutrition at Caldic North America. "Baobab is not only an incredibly nutrient-dense superfruit, it also aligns perfectly with today's consumer focus on gut health, immunity, beauty-from-within, metabolic health, and glucose management. This partnership will help our customers bring innovative, evidence-based products to market, faster."
KAIBAE's Baobab Fruit Powder is wild-harvested from the African savannah and contains six times more vitamin C than oranges, five times more fiber than oats, and a broad spectrum of prebiotic polyphenols and essential micronutrients like calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron . It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including dietary supplements, functional beverages, sports nutrition, prebiotic formulations, baked goods, sweets, and beauty-from-within products.
"Caldic's extensive distribution network and leading-edge R&D capabilities make them an ideal partner for bringing our KAIBAE® Baobab to more formulators and brand developers across North America," said Dr. Luc Maes, co-founder of KAIBAE. "Their deep knowledge of the nutritional landscape and innovation-driven approach will help accelerate the adoption of baobab as a foundational ingredient in health-forward products."
In addition to its exceptional nutritional profile, baobab is a natural alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, contributing to improved glycemic response and increased GLP-1 levels: key mechanisms in metabolic health and weight management.
KAIBAE's baobab supply chain was established in 2011 through direct partnerships with communities in Ghana, with a mission to improve livelihoods, preserve biodiversity, and ensure traceable, sustainable sourcing.
