I spent many years camping and living in the Australian bush, living to some extent on bush foods. There are so many delicious bush foods out there that are easy to grow also but the ones that get the public interest are often the crappy ones.
I now have a market garden specialising in rare and unusual fruits and veg and some of the bush foods I grow and sell are things like – muntries, murnong, kurrajong roots and pigface fruits which are fabulous and always have my customers coming back for more.
