Kakadu Plum Powder

Kakadu Plum, commonly referred to as Gubinge, Billy Goat Plum, or if you’re a Latin speaker, Terminalia ferdinandiana, is a fruit found exclusively in the outback in Northern Australia.

Kakadu Plum as a fruit is small, reaching no larger than the tip of your thumb, and weighing up to 5 grams in total. The fruit itself remains pale green in colour, isn’t sweet, and is quite tart and somewhat astringent.

Most plums are Wild Harvested and are collected by hand, with many Aboriginal Australians employed in the industry. Kakadu Plums have been harvested for thousands of years by Indigenous Australians for medicine, which was used to treat colds, and headaches. They were also used as an antiseptic.

A typical orange contains around 53mg of Vitamin C, whereas one Kakadu Plum contains 3.5%-7.0% of Vitamin C compared to its weight, meaning it contains somewhere around 100 times the amount found in an orange.

Because Vitamin C is so vital to general wellbeing, Kakadu Plum has revolutionized the health food industry by providing a natural Vitamin C supplement easily added to any diet. As Kakadu Plums are most commonly dried, and ground into a fine powder, it’s become a natural, yet effective way to obtain your daily Vitamin C. Easily pour some powder into oatmeal, smoothies, into soups, or even in a dessert for a superfood kick
