Kakadu Plum

Kakadu Plum

The Kakadu Plum, also known as Gubinge, Billygoat Plum or Murunga, is a native Australian fruit. The fruit is small, about the size of an olive or cherry, and green in color. The plant is found in the woodlands of Northern Australia. It has been used for thousands of years by Indigenous Australians for its nutrient-rich and medicinal properties. It's known to have a tart taste, and it's often used in sauces, relishes, and gourmet jams, as well as in skincare and pharmaceuticals due to its high antioxidant properties. 
 
The Kakadu plum we use is from the Palngun Wurnangat Association (PWA), a women’s organisation based in Wadeye, Northern Territory. Wadeye has the largest Aboriginal community in Australia.
