Quandong
$12.00 - $22.00
Description
Quandong flavour is tart and tangy with a taste similar to a combination of rhubarb and apricots. Fruit texture remains when cooking to add interest to dishes. Rehydrated this fruit can be enjoyed in many ways.
Quandong has a high Vitamin C content - higher than oranges.
Lovely when used as a dessert and stunning when used as a dipping sauce.
Quandongs often bring a sense on nostalgia for many who have spent time in arid parts of Australia.
