Considered a gift of the Dreamtime, the Kakadu Plum has been an important source of bush food for northern Australian Indigenous people for millennia. High in folate, iron and Vitamin E and containing vastly more antioxidants than the blueberry, the magnificent Kakadu Plum has the highest recorded levels of Vitamin C in the world, measuring up to 100 times the Vitamin C content found in an orange. The Kakadu Plum is devoured by Aboriginal children when in season and eaten by adults on hunting trips for quick boosts of energy and to quench thirst. Taste and Smell The taste of the fruit is tart with a delightful aroma of stewed apples and pears, with some cooked citrus, pickled and floral musk essence.
