Hundreds of varieties of fruit and nuts are found on native Australian trees, bushes, shrubs and vines. Some varieties are available year-round whilst others occur only intermittently and seasonally. In some years many varieties of fruits do not bear at all because of environmental factors - too little or too much rain usually! A good number of Australian fruits cannot be described as sweet or tasty when compared to the array of pulpy, very sweet fruits readily available. To appreciate native Australian fruit, we need to adjust our sense of taste so that we can accommodate a range of flavours that includes bitterness, sourness and a high degree of acidity. Research is still being undertaken on the nutritious value of our fruits and nuts, but results to date indicate amazing results.......
