Native Australian foods

Native Australian foods, known as bush foods or bush tucker, are a diverse array of plants, animals, and fungi traditionally used by Indigenous Australians. These include fruits like wattleseeds and bush tomatoes, seeds such as finger lime, and proteins like kangaroo, emu, and crocodile. Many of these foods are nutrient-rich, seasonal, and have unique flavors. They are gaining recognition globally for their health benefits and cultural significance, offering a rich connection to Australia's natural landscape and Indigenous heritage. Incorporating bush foods promotes sustainable practices and helps preserve Indigenous knowledge and traditions.
