Bush tucker, or bush food, has been a source of nutrition and effective medicine for Aboriginal people for thousands of years. There is a huge variety of native plants, fruits, vegetable, spices and animals which can be found all around Australia, and many of these unique ingredients are still used today.
Many native Australian plants have been used as food and medicine by Aboriginal people for generations. We have an abundance of plants and fruits that grow all around us.
