Whole foods are natural produce such as fruits and vegetables that have been processed or refined as little as possible, maintaining high nutrient value. They are free from additives or other artificial substances.

Wild-harvested and Organic

Wild-harvested Kakadu Plums fruits are different from commercially produced fruits. They are wholly organic, uncontaminated by pesticides, herbicides and pollutants, and GMO free. They date back millenniums and are grown naturally in perfect synergy with nature in pristine clean, clear unpolluted wilderness, unaltered by man. They rely exclusively on the natural fertilization of the soil, rainfall, and sunshine. The fruits remain on the tree to ripen, and harvesters pick the fruit at the appropriate time to ensure peak nutritional content. 

Harvesting and Production

The organic Kakadu Plums we source are wild-harvested and picked by hand by indigenous Aboriginal people from restricted plots of land in the Northern regions of Australia. The pickers travel far into the bush to pick the fruit, and the traditional owners of the land authenticate their harvest. Within 24 hours, the fruits are freeze-dried to maintain their nutritional value. The frozen fruits are then processed into a fine powder that can be added to cereals, salads, sports drinks, cosmetics, and whole food vitamin supplements.

History

Australian Aborigines have used the Kakadu Plum's powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial properties for millenniums. Still today, the fruit is known to be rich in vitamin E and to have the highest concentration of vitamin C per gram of any known fruit. These nutritional facts make it one of Australia's most popular superfoods.

Wellness

Given its high concentration of vitamins, especially vitamin C and E, flavonoids, macromolecules, and micronutrients, the Kakadu Plum offers a long list of beneficial attributes. Here are just a few:

• Vitamin C: Humans can't synthesize vitamin C; it doesn't stay in the body, so we need a daily intake of this vital micronutrient. Vitamin C helps control metabolism; it allows the formation of new red blood cells and bone and reduces inflammation; it improves the functioning of the nervous system and is an essential cofactor for many different enzymes in the body. Vitamin C is required to synthesize the most important protein in our body, collagen, and is necessary to regenerate vitamin E. It is essential in producing the body's most potent protector from free radicals, Glutathione (a powerful antioxidant produced by the liver).
• Immune system: Vitamin C is crucial for normal immune system function, boosting and supporting your body's natural defense against infections.
• Digestion: The fruit, both in its raw form and as a powder supplement, is rich in the dietary fibers essential to maintain proper digestion.
• Memory: May assist with maintaining a healthy brain and improved memory and age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
• Blood sugar: The Kakadu Plum contains manganese which may assist in regulating blood sugar levels.
• Weight loss: Containing high levels of antioxidants, Kakadu Plum based supplements may help regulate glucose and insulin metabolism and assist in weight gain prevention, along with a healthy diet and exercise routine.
• Anti-aging: The Kakadu Plum's high vitamin C content may help protect skin against sun damage and aid your body's production of the amino acid 'proline' responsible for collagen production. Normal collagen production can postpone the development of wrinkles and other signs of aging. The fruit is similarly rich in vitamin E, iron, zinc, folate, and lutein, essential to skin health.
