Delicious, fragrant and nutrient-dense native foods
In Australia, we are fortunate to live in a country whose soil birthed delicious, fragrant and nutrient-dense fruits, that are beautifully intertwined with the lives of Australia's First Nations people.
These special fruits seem to promote good health as described by First Nations people and research entities. The fruits grown on our orchard are noted to have the following benefits:
Davidson Plum:
High levels of vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, lutein (for eye health) and folate. It also contains high levels of anthocyanins that are antioxidants. Anthocyanins are thought to promote skin health, have anti-inflammatory properties amongst other health benefits.
