For over 40,000 years the Indigenous people of Australia have lived off the land; eating well when food was plentiful and surviving on little in times of drought. They quickly learnt which plants provided nourishment.
This food is now called Bush food or Bush tucker…… it is Australia’s native cuisine.
Today Bushfood is modern, contemporary and fun. It is incorporated into our favourite meals, as well as being used to create some innovative dishes.
The new tastes and ancient history of the food are making it sought after across the globe. From coffee-flavoured Wattle seed, the desert Quandong (our native peach), to refreshing Lemon Myrtle from the lush rainforest… Australia has much to offer the world.
