16.01.2022 Ruby Saltbush . Native to to Australia, Ruby Saltbush 'Enchylaena tomentosa' is a quaint succulent bearing small berries with a crisp, salty-sweet flavour. It grows in every state across mainland Australia, typically found in the salt marshes of our tropical, sub-tropical and temperate regions. . This species fruits and flowers year round, producing edible berries about 5mm in diameter, ranging in colour from yellow to red. Berries can be eaten raw or soaked in water to mak...e a sweet tea. The leaves are also edible, but as they’re rich in oxalates, they should be cooked before eating, or consumed sparingly. . Ruby Saltbush is a very hardy, woody, low-growing shrub with fleshy green leaves that are covered in fine white hairs. It prefers full sun but will also grow in dappled shade. It handles most soil and weather conditions, a healthy plant will survive saline soil, sandy soil, long droughts and even some frost. . It can grow up to 1m and is perfect for gaps, groundcover and pots, where it may attract birds and other garden critters seeking food and shelter. .

10.01.2022 he Kurrajong or Bottle Tree has multiple uses and was used by many Indigenous Australian around Australia. The seeds located in a seed pod were often removed and cleaned of the fine hairs within the seed pod and were often roasted. Water could be obtained from the tree roots by boring a hole in the trunk and squeezing the wood. There are also records of the seedpods being turned into a children's rattle or toy. . The soft spongy wood was used for making shields, and the bar...k as a fibre. The leaves are also used as emergency fodder for drought-affected animal stock. Ground-up seeds can also be brewed into a coffee substitute, which is described as having more of a mocha-taste, rather than a true coffee taste. . . . . #kurrajong #bottletree #bushfood See more

03.01.2022 & Text from @theweedyone . "Cumbunji is the Wiradjuri name for bulrush, Typha species. This plant has been celebrated and used for food and craft all over the world, indeed one the earliest recorded food plants. .... The young stems and green female flowering spike are eaten raw or cooked over fire. They are a great source of starches and a favourite staple meal from Australia to India to North America to continental Europe. . In Australia we have three main varieties of this plant Narrow-leaved Cumbungi - Typha domingensis Native, widespread throughout the continent. Broadleaved Cumbungi - Typha orientalis Native, mostly coastal. Bulrush Typha latifolia exotic, less widespread, mostly confined to South East Victoria and Tasmania. . You will see this plant in ponds, river bends and billabongs all over the continent. . The pollen is collected at this time of the year from the male flower. It is bright yellow and it is said to contain a high level of protein. The flavour is very similar to sweet cornmeal. . Have you ever tried this plant? do you have recipes to share with us all? Would love to hear your experiences." . . . . #bushfood #bushtucker #nativefood See more
