The smallest (less than 1 mm) and largest succulents (the Baobab tree) in the world are found in South Africa. Baobab’s leaves may be eaten as a leaf vegetable. The fruit has a velvety shell and is about the size of a coconut, weighing about 1.5 kilograms, but is not as globular (sphere shaped). The fresh fruit is said to taste like sorbet. It has an acidic, tart, citrus flavor. It is a good source of vitamin C, potassium, carbohydrates, and phosphorus.
