Desert Quandongs - Native Bushfood from Roogenic
Desert Quandongs (native peach) are a versatile healthy snack with a flavour somewhere between peach, apricot and rhubarb. As one of Australia’s native superfoods, Quandongs contain antioxidants and essential minerals like zinc, calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin E and folate. They have been a staple food and important source of nutrition for Indigenous Australians for thousands of years, and were also an important food to the first European settlers and explorers who used this high vitamin C fruit to help fight scurvy.
Quandongs can be eaten whole as a nutritious snack, brewed to make hot or iced tea, or incorporated into many different sweet and savoury dishes.
