I believe many people have also seen the TV series "The Woman in the Bread Tree" or read the novel "The Woman in the Bread Tree" by Zhang Xiaoxian. But even though they have watched it, but many people think that the bread tree is just fictionalized by the author, but in fact there is really a bread tree.

People call this bread tree the baobab tree, and others call it the monkey tree or the baobab tree, which belongs to the deciduous tree family. The baobab tree has a large crown, differently shaped rights and a fruit as big as a soccer ball. Because its fruit is very sweet and very juicy, it is loved by monkeys, orangutans, elephants and many other animals.

The baobab tree grows in Africa, northern Oceania and other regions. It is a warm tropical tree, and it has a long lifespan. Even in the harsh savannah, it can live for about 5,000 years.

The baobab tree is full of treasures. Its leaves are often eaten as vegetables, because in its leaves, contains a lot of vitamins and calcium, but also has a fire and fever efficacy, so people often take it into medicine. Its bark can be peeled off and used to roll rope or weave cloth. The seeds can be pressed for cooking oil, or roasted and ground to make a coffee-like drink. The shells can be made into scoops or wine coolers.

It has a trunk with a lot of water, and the wood is relatively fluffy, which makes it a good material for making pulp. In its fruit, it has 50% more calcium than spinach, and has a high antioxidant content. It also contains three times more vitamin C than oranges. Because it is rich in nutrients, people also call it a super fruit.

The baobab tree provides people with ripe breadfruit three times a year. The long, oval-shaped fruit can be eaten raw or roasted. When it is baked to a golden brown color, break it open, its creamy white flesh will instantly release a burst of aroma, its flavor is sweet and sour, fluffy and delicious, very similar to the bread sold in stores. In addition to being baked and eaten, it can also be used to make jam or wine.

The baobab tree is suitable for planting as a sidewalk tree and garden tree. In the south of China, people in some parks, planted some baobab trees, used for ornamental purposes.
