Quandong Powder

QUANDONG – 100% SANALUM ACUMINATUM is a small native shrub or tree that grows 2-6 metres high. It produces a visually appealing yellow-to-red, tart tasting, dry-textured fruit with slender pale green leaves.

Traditionally the Quandong was an important food source for Australian Aborigines. Amongst male members of central Australia’s Pitjantjara people, Quandongs were considered a suitable substitute for meat – especially when hunting game was in short supply.

• Pairs well with dairy products, oil & vinegar -based marinades, salad dressings, meat-based jus & egg-based condiments.
• Adds a refreshing taste to your beverages
