Kakadu Plum

Kakadu Plum: The Vitamin C Superfruit, Grown in Australia

Meet the fruit that holds the record. Kakadu plum has the highest natural vitamin C ever recorded in a fruit, about 50 times the vitamin C of an orange. And it grows right here in Australia.

Ours is lab tested at 12.1% natural vitamin C. That’s 121mg in every single gram. Whole fruit, including the seed, freeze-dried. No fillers, no additives. Vitamin C from a fruit, not from a factory.

Kakadu Plum Powder, Two Easy Ways

• In capsules: 140 x 500mg, with 60mg of natural vitamin C in every one. That’s more than an adult’s 45mg daily need in one capsule a day, for just 46c a day.
• Loose powder: pure freeze-dried Kakadu plum powder to stir, shake and blend into your day.

Kakadu Plum, Collagen and Vitamin C

Here’s the one everyone asks about. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, and Kakadu plum is packed with it.

That’s not all. Vitamin C contributes to normal immune system function, contributes to iron absorption from food, and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. One capsule gives you 60mg. Your whole day’s vitamin C, sorted.

Tens of Thousands of Years of Bush Tucker

Long before it was a superfood, it was simply food. Aboriginal people across the Kimberley, the Top End and Arnhem Land have gathered this fruit for tens of thousands of years. It goes by many names: gubinge, murunga, billygoat plum and green plum. The trees fruit after the wet season, and the small green plums are tart, fresh and citrusy.

It’s one of Australia’s best-known bush foods, and a true bush tucker superfood. Read the full story: what is Kakadu plum?
