Kakadu plum (also called gubinge or billy goat plum) powder is one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C on earth — ours is laboratory-tested at 12.1% natural vitamin C. But a tub of powder is only useful if you know what to do with it. Here are eight easy ways, from breakfast to skincare.
1. Smoothies
The easiest way of all — add a small spoonful to any smoothie. Its tart, citrusy bite disappears into banana, mango or berries.
2. Sprinkled over breakfast
A light dusting over yoghurt, muesli or porridge. Start small — a little goes a long way.
3. In fresh juice
Stir into orange or apple juice for an extra vitamin C kick from a whole Australian fruit.
4. In salad dressings
Whisk a pinch into olive oil and lemon — the tartness works like a native citrus.
5. A DIY vitamin C face mask
Kakadu plum is prized in skincare for its vitamin C — it’s the same ingredient we blend into our own paw paw face cream. Mix a small amount of powder with plain yoghurt or honey for a simple weekend face mask. (Patch-test first, as with any new skincare.)
6. Keep it raw where you can
Heat breaks down vitamin C — so add the powder to cold or warm foods rather than baking with it, and you keep what you paid for.
7. Skip the measuring — capsules
If powder isn’t your style, our Kakadu Plum Capsules hold the identical 100% pure farm-grown powder, pre-measured: 500mg per capsule, 140 per bottle — 70 grams of pure powder. Before you compare prices anywhere, check how many grams of actual powder other bottles contain.
8. Make your own capsules
Here’s one nobody tells you: with a simple capsule press (an inexpensive kitchen gadget), you can fill your own capsules from loose powder — or skip the work entirely and grab ours ready-made.
