Saba senegalensis
Saba senegalensis, a highly cherished fruit in Africa, is known for its seeds enveloped in a tangy pulp. This wild liana species flourishes in the African savannah and is also cultivated as a shrub. The fruit, known by various names such as zaban (Bambara or Dioula), malombo (Congo Basin), maad (Wolof), made (African French), or wèda (Mooré), features a globular shell with seeds coated in a soft, juicy, yellow pulp that is both tart and sweet.
Culinary Uses
The fruit can be enjoyed raw or enhanced with sugar, salt, and chili pepper for a unique flavor. When mixed with water and sugar, the pulp creates a delightful juice, offering a refreshing drink option. While the seeds are not recommended for consumption, the inner shell’s superficial skin is edible and nutritious.
Nutritional Benefits
Saba senegalensis is a rich source of vitamin C, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and vitamin B6, making it a nutritious addition to any diet. Its availability peaks during the rainy season in West Africa, from May to August, providing a seasonal bounty of health benefits.
