Desert Limes are a small fruit about the size of a grape with a wonderful "limey" flavour Australian Desert Lime or Wild limes have an intense lime flavour without the tart edge that traditional limes have, I can eat them quiet easily alone. Like all limes they are extremely versatile. There are a number of native limes that have been developed, the Desert Lime being one of them. Wild Limes were used as a food source by Indigenous people, the easy pioneers to Australia harvested them for use in jams and preserves and they are now an extremely popular lime on many restaurant menus. -
Hand-cut quandong stones or seeds for craft-work or cultivating. These have all been hand-cut so there is no blemishes on the stones at all. Quandongs are a native to Australia, they prosper in a hot dry climate. Many of the quandong stones are now machine cut to get the fruit off the stone, this often impacts on the stone themselves with cut marks. All stones that I have available have been carefully hand-cut. -

Bush Tomato or Desert Raisin Relish, perfect relish for your true-blue Aussie Hamburger
This relish made from Australian Bush Tomatoes, Solanum centrale, called Desert Raison's by the early settlers are a low desert shrub.
When the Bush Tomato fruit turns from green to red and drops to the ground it's ready for eating. A popular food source of Australia's indigenous people for generations. This relish is the perfect way to enjoy the unique flavour of the bush tomato. Whilst they are related to tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) they could possibly be even a closer relation to the eggplant (S.melongena) which they have many details in common. Bush tomatoes taste like a sun dried tomato with caramel overtones, they can be quite bitter if too large a quantity is used in cooking. Consider them like a spice rather than as a fresh tomato.
