Davidson Plum has an intense and tart flavour which makes it perfect for both sweet and savoury dishes.

DAVIDSON PLUM (Davidsonia jerseyana) or Aboriginal name Ooray is a small to medium sized rainforest tree and a popular bush food source. There are 3 different varieties of Davidson Plum native to both NSW and south east QLD. The tree bears fruit with a vibrant purple coloured skin and burgundy flesh. Davidson Plum has long been a food source for indigenous Australians whom ate them raw despite having a very tangy sour flavour. They are most often used in the culinary world to make beautiful jams, wine, ice-cream and sauces.

Culinary uses of Davidson Plum:
Davidson Plum has an intense and tart flavour which makes it perfect for both sweet and savoury dishes, including baked goods, jams, chutneys, mayonnaise, yoghurts, ice-cream, chocolate and sauces. They can also act as a good substitute to lemon in cooking. Due to their tartness, they are rarely eaten fresh and mostly used in cooking.

The Davidson’s plum rich colour makes a perfect natural food colouring eliminating the need for inorganic and toxic manufactured food colouring. Research is also underway into the preservative properties as it has been known to extend the shelf life when added to other food products. Davidson plum is often found frozen due to it’s short harvest time and you can find it in powder form on our website which is ready and easy to use in cooking to impart a tart, sour flavour to dishes.
