Introducing the Kakadu Plum
What are they
You may have heard of the Kakadu Plum before, but if not, we are here to tell you a little about this amazing fruit. Native to our very own Kakadu region in the Northern Territory of Australia, it has now spread its distribution over the whole of northern Australia. This boom in demand has set businesses all over Australia scrambling to get a piece of its action.
As with many things in Australia, the First Nations Australians have known about, and valued, this plant thousands of years before the west caught up. The inner bark of the plant itself can help treat skin conditions and sores, while the fruit itself was a great source of food.
Meanwhile, western scientists have only caught up in the last 40 years, discovering the many amazing benefits of Kakadu Plum’s
What’s so great about them?

Well, its time for them to step aside because the Kakadu Plum knocks them out of park with roughly 50 times more vitamin C. Out of all the fruit on the planet it is one of the richest sources of the vitamin which means it has more antioxidants to help protect your body and keep you healthy.
Not content with only protecting you from UV and pollutants, the Kakadu Plum also has other healing properties. Contained within its skin are anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that can help with pain and keep your body healthy.
