Our NATIF Boab powder is Ethically and Sustainably Harvested in the Northern parts of Western Australia by a Traditional Custodian along with Indigenous families who are supporting youth in their local and surrounding areas.  The fruit is processed and packaged in a facility which employs young Indigenous workers.

Baobab is the common name for the genus as a whole which is mainly found in Africa and known as Boab in Australia.

An Australian native superfood.  The large Boab, nut-like shell contains the inner fruit that naturally dries directly on the tree to create a powdery sherbet like pulp which surrounds the inner seeds. 

The Boab Powder is highly nutritious and high in vitamins, iron, zinc, protein, potassium, calcium and dietary fibre.

The Boab creamy powder tastes slightly tangy with mild lemon flavours and like a mildly sweet lemon-sherbet.

Health Benefits

Muntries are a delicious special superfood. NATIF freeze dried whole Muntries are very light in weight and contain almost 100% of their nutritional value and 100% of the products fibre without the moisture content. Feel free to rehydrate them by soaking them in water. I love them just the way they are or mixed into a nut mix. Muntries are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, sodium and fibre. Muntries have a greater antioxidant capacity than blueberries with over two times the phenolic compounds.

Ingredients

NATIVE BEE HONEY

This Australian Native Bee Honey is one of the rarest honeys in the world, unadulterated and with health benefits.

Native Bee Honey is gently cold extracted and has a distinct flavour, texture and is sweet and tangy with eucalyptus and lemon notes.

The native bees that produce this sugar bag honey fly around the World Heritage listed Glass House Mountains on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.

A cloudy appearance in the honey is a very good sign, meaning there is a high Propolis content producing high antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

Australian native bees have been around since the dinosaurs roamed this vast land.  They were the our first pollinators, but they are also a threatened species.

First People's of Australia used native bee honey as food and medicine for thousands of years.

PRODUCT FEATURES:

• Contains Propolis
• Harvested by First Australians for health properties
• Scientifically proven to have a low Glycemic Index
• Potent antimicrobial and antibacterial properties
