Australia 2002 : Bush Tucker FDC


Australian native plant foods have been enjoyed by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. Fruit from many varieties of Lilly-pilly can be eaten raw from the tree. The Honey Grevillea of Central Australia is prized for the honey either sucked directly from the flower or extracted by steeping the bloom in water. The small, bright red fruits from the Quandong tree can be eaten raw or dried. The seeds from the Dogwood, an Acacia species of Central Australia, are roasted or mashed with water. The Murnong, a now scarce small root vegetable resembling a dandelion, was once a staple food of Indigenous peoples of south-eastern Australia. 2002 is the Year of the Outback.
