How to Cook with Australian Coastal Native Ingredients

  1. 1

    Karkalla – A Crunchy, Salty Succulent A versatile native ingredient perfect for adding a salty, crunchy bite to salads and stir-fries.

  2. 2

    Saltbush – Australia’s Natural Seasoning A deliciously salty leaf with one-third the sodium of table salt, ideal as a native seasoning.

  3. 3

    Samphire (Sea Asparagus) – Coastal Green Goodness A salty, tender green vegetable perfect for steaming, sautéing, or tossing into salads.

  4. 4

    Sea Spray (Sea Blight) – Delicate Coastal Flavour A subtle, mild native green that pairs beautifully with seafood and light dishes.

  5. 5

    Sea Purslane – The Native Olive Think Australia’s version of a Sicilian green olive. Crunchy, briny leaves that bring vibrant flavour to pastas, salads, and coastal-inspired dishes.

  6. 6

    Finger Lime – Citrus Caviar Vibrant citrus pearls that burst with flavour, perfect for topping seafood, desserts, and fresh dishes.

  7. 7

    Lemon Myrtle – Fragrant Native Citrus A beautiful lemony leaf used traditionally to flavour meats and now a favourite for teas, desserts, and marinades.

...And that's it, enjoy!
