Kakadu Plum: Could This Tiny Aussie Fruit Be Nature’s Secret Superpower?
Tucked away in the wild landscapes of Northern Australia grows one of the most powerful fruits on the planet — the Kakadu Plum (also known as Gubinge, Billygoat Plum, or Murunga). Revered for thousands of years by Indigenous Australians for its healing properties, this native treasure is now earning global attention as a potent, natural superfood.
But what makes it so special? Let’s take a look.
A Vitamin C Powerhouse
Kakadu Plum holds the record for the highest natural source of Vitamin C in the world — up to 100 times more than oranges! This makes it a supercharged antioxidant and a powerful ally for:
- Immune support
- Skin health and collagen production
- Wound healing and inflammation reduction
- Combating oxidative stress
In traditional medicine, it was used as a bush remedy for colds, infections, and even as a topical treatment for sores and wounds.
A Wholefood with Deep Roots
Kakadu Plum has been harvested and honoured by First Nations communities for generations. Its rich cultural and nutritional heritage is a shining example of how ancient wisdom and modern wellness beautifully intersect.
When you choose Kakadu Plum, especially from ethical and sustainable sources, you’re also supporting the work and stewardship of Indigenous harvesters and communities.
How to Use Kakadu Plum
Available in powder, capsule, or liquid form, Kakadu Plum is easy to incorporate into your routine:
- Stir the powder into smoothies, juices or chia puddings
- Add to raw desserts or energy balls
- Blend into tonic drinks or hot lemon water
- Mix into natural skincare for a Vitamin C boost
Its slightly tart, citrusy flavour pairs well with berries, mango, coconut, and other tropical notes.
