Quandong Fruit 

(Santalum acuminatum)

Available in Fruit and Powder

Quandongs (or wild peaches) are found in the semi arid zones of Southern Australia from arid desert to coastal areas. They are a bright colourful red fruit with a large ornamental inner seed. The outside husks are eaten although the seed was also traditionally used for medicinal purposes by Indigenous people and the husks were eaten as a food source of protein when meat protein was scarce. They have an earthy dry lentil aroma, are nutritious and tasty with a tart fruity finish.
