Kakadu Plums are extremely high in antioxidant capacity and have both the hydrophilic and lipophilic types. Due to the this extremely high antioxidant capability, research is currently being undertaken to analyse the ability of Kakadu Plum in preventing and delaying oxidative stress diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancer and other aging and degenerative diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Kakadu Plums are also a good source of Vitamin E, magnesium, lutein, folate and have a high K:Na (Potassium to Sodium) ratio. The Kakadu Plum also has antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties and is currently used in some food industries to extend food shelf life.

Quandongs have an outstanding antioxidant capacity. They are also a good source of protein, folate, iron, magnesium, zinc, Vitamin E and Vitamin C (for more nutritional information see RIRDC).

The quandong, native peach, guwandhang (Whiraduri language) or kurtuki (Ngarrindjeri language) has been around for 45 million years (pollen samples were found at Nelly Creek, SA). Aboriginals in the southern and inland arid parts of Australia have been using this highly nutritious fruit for many thousands of years. Early settlers used the quandong to make jams and chutneys. The bright red fruits can be found hanging on the quandong tree like Christmas baubles from September to November.

Flavour: Slightly sweet and tart with earthy fermented tones.

This is the second edition of a landmark book originally released in July 2018 which represents the culmination of decades of work describing the edible bush foods of the World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park, one of Australian’s best known tourist destinations. The authors and Kundjeyhmi people have worked closely to photograph and describe 149 plants species: from the toffee-like gum of river wattle to sweet an-badju yams sought by singing children. Each plant’s description includes: Kundjeyhmi, scientific and English common names; plant uses; plant preparation and its cultural significance. The information is presented in clear, easy-to-read language, accompanied by over 500 spectacular photographs. For over 60,000 years, the Kundjeyhmi people of Kakadu have gained an intimate knowledge of the area’s plant foods. An-me Arri-ngun: The Food We Eat will fascinate all those interested in Aboriginal life and culture, bush tucker, bush medicine, ethno-botany and Australian flora.
