Bush Tucker Collection

Our specially selected bush tucker species are great for salads, roasted root vegetable dishes, sweet summer berries and currents, and include native herbs such as thyme, and even native peaches and potatoes. Everything you need for the full bush tucker experience at home.

The bush Tucker Edible collection has everything you need to experience the interesting practice of smoke and water treating seeds before germination as well as full instruction leaflet.

No gardening tools required for the seed bombs, simply throw and grow bush food.

The clay protects the seeds until conditions are right for germination, where they will germinate and explode into growth and develop into your edible garden. Seed bombs have been used for hundreds years in ancient Japan and Europe to revegetate landscapes and re-wild the earth. No gardening tools required, simply throw and grow! They work well in open gardens or in pots, so perfect for any sized garden where you want to support native species.

Hot water treatment seedbombs in a specially designed biodegradable germination soak bag and Smoke pre treatment seeds with smoke infused granules for smoke assisted germination.

Australian carrot (Daucus glochidiatus) – small root vegetable picked and eaten much like traditional carrots! Delicious.

Native Potato (Ipomoea costata) – Hotwater treatment seed grows a delicious underground tubers with a nutty earthy flavour, like a cross between potato and parsnip. Can be eaten raw when young or roasted when mature.

Native Peach or Quandong (Santalum acuminatum) – small tree or shrub that produces striking bright red fruit with a tart, tangy flavour, similar to apricot with a hint of rhubarb.
The flesh is used for jams, sauces, chutneys, and desserts, while the kernel inside the large stone is edible when roasted.
Quandongs prefer well-drained soil and need a host plant (such as saltbush or acacia) nearby to share nutrients. Once established, they are hardy, drought-tolerant, and fruit beautifully in full sun.
