(Santalum acuminatum)
Available in Fruit and Powder
Quandongs (also called desert or wild peaches) are found in the semi arid zones of Southern Australia from arid desert regions 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. The fruity husks were dried and eaten as a plant source of protein when meat protein was scarce. They have an earthy dry lentil aroma, are nutritious and tasty with a tart tangy finish.
Freeze-dried Quandong powder.
