As Nature Intended is a high street retailer offering one of the best organic shopping experiences in London. They have just taken on the whole Yozuna brand range, so our London customers have even more choice of where to pick up their next jar of Baobab Jam or a refreshing bottle of Baobab Lemonade.

Infinity Foods is one of the UK’s leading wholesale distributors of Organic and natural foods and are now stocking Yozuna’s Baobab Jam. Infinity specialise in Fairtrade products and were keen to add Yozuna’s jam which is produced using Fairtrade Malawian unrefined sugar. Visit Infinity Foods: http://www.infinityfoodswholesale.co.uk/.
The September issue of National Geographic has highlighted the nutritional benefits of the Baobab fruit as well as a mention of Yozuna’s efforts to spread the word and availability of this superfruit. Slowly, but surely the word is getting out there and now the international magazines are on board spreading the word! Pick up a copy of this month’s National Geographic to read more.
Tree of Life is one of the leading suppliers of Organic and Natural Products to independent health food stores in the UK and will now be supplying retail stores around the country with the Yozuna brand. This is a really great stepping stone for Yozuna and we are thrilled to be working with such a well-established organisation to help us get our products out onto the shelves.
Since the founding of Yozuna, Malcolm has been keen to return to the Mthanjara Womens Cooperative, where the original Baobab jam recipe was developed, to show them what has been achieved on the strength of the recipe in the UK as well as to initiate steps to enable the Mthanjara women to supply Yozuna with Baobab powder for product production both in the UK and eventually southern Africa.
Earlier this month whilst on a trip to Zambia visiting family, Yozuna’s new Marketing Manager, Marisa, visited the Mthanjara’s Womens Cooperative to meet the women in charge of the cooperative and show them samples of Yozuna’s Baobab Fruit Jam. The women were so excited to see the packaging and taste how the recipe has been adapted to meet a European palate (which includes a significantly reduced amount of sugar to the original recipe). Supply of Baobab fruit is plentiful and now all that is needed is the right machinery to extract the powder and package it ready for export.
Yozuna were at the Devon County Show on 21 and 22 May armed with our products and heap loads of our Baobab Fruit Powder. Our intention was to introduce Malcolm's yummy Yorkshire Pudding ala Baobab recipe using Yozuna's Baobab Fruit Powder, which he demonstrated to the crowd and it went down a treat. 
Yozuna's Baobab Fruit Powder had a great night at the South West Drum and Bass Awards at the Eden Project. A mixologist from Shaker, a cocktail company, came up with an explosive cocktail for the night - a mixture of Yozuna's Baobab Lemondade, pomegranite and vodka. Everyone was on a natural high!
