    Kakadu Plum: Australia's Native Superfruit

    Kakadu plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana) is a native Australian fruit that grows naturally across parts of northern Australia. Also known as Gubinge or Billy Goat Plum, it has been valued for generations and is recognised for its naturally high vitamin C content.

    Small and pale green in colour, Kakadu plum has a distinctive tart flavour and is commonly used in foods, beverages and personal care products. Much of the commercial supply is still sourced through wild harvesting programs in northern Australia.

    Kakadu plum has attracted scientific interest because it contains naturally occurring vitamin C together with a range of plant compounds. As a result, it is often included in wellness and beauty formulations.
