A note on safety: While we aim to provide accurate information in all our articles, particularly our bush tucker articles, it is important for you to do your own research and take care when eating or using potentially harmful plants or fruits. There are many species of bush tucker which look very similar to toxic plants, so it's extremely important to be aware of all varieties and be able to identify the variety you have before eating or using it.
