Red Back Australian Ginger has been treasured by the Aboriginal people for millennia. This amazing plant can be found in rainforest understories of Northern New South Wales and Southern Queensland this particular variety hails from Atherton Tableland near Cairns. Both its spicy root and striking blue fruits are a delight to consume, with roots that may enhance savoury dishes, desserts, jams & marmalades as well as bring an extra zing to tea! The seeds should not be eaten but the berries have a wonderful lemony ginger flavour – oftentimes enjoyed during walkabouts by Aboriginal nomads who sought refreshment on their travels.
