Baobab
The baobab is steeped in folklore and history. There are variations on the theme of how, when the world was created, a disgruntled hyena was given a baobab and planted it upside down. Spirits dwell in the tree and have to be placated. The griots – drummers, poets, sorcerers and buffoons – of West Africa are denied burial in the ground and are suspended in hollow baobabs, while in southern Africa the spirits of the tribal chiefs live in the tree. Over the centuries engravings, names and initials, and miscellaneous graffiti have marked the passage of many a traveller, both the great and the insignificant.
   The baobabs provide meeting places, shade and shelter to many a weary traveller. Their hollow trunks places for storing equipment and grain, stables for mules and horses, chapels and shrines, bars, prisons, and flush toilets. In the drier areas they are used for storing water for both settlements and travellers for use during the long dry season. In fact many settlements were established because of the presence of a baobab, the significance of which is often no longer apparent due to the development of alternative water supplies. The baobabs in other settlements clearly owe their origin to exporated seeds The trees are a valuable source of nutritious food, rich in minerals, amino acids and vitamins. Sauces for cereal dishes are prepared from the fresh or dried leaves. Those from trees with glabrous leaves are preferred and such trees are often pollarded to ensure a good supply of fresh young leaves. The mealy fruit pulp is much appreciated and is used in drinks, sauces, brewing and as a substitute for cream of tartar in baking.
