Gubinge - Real Health, Real Change

Seven years into our Gubinge project and things are taking off in a BIG way. This plucky little plum is the highest source of Vitamin C in the world and a powerful indigenous Australian superfood. Now, after a huge amount of dedication and hard work from our allies in Western Australia, the local area is really seeing the fruits of this labour...

Gubinge Harvest 2014

Just this morning we received 3,000kg of Gubinge from our friends in the Kimberley! Then, right this afternoon, we received these beautiful photographs plus this fantastic account of time out on the land during harvest. A huge thank you to Lahea for sending these to us.

Gubinge - Out On The Harvest Part III

In the third part of our series on the Gubinge Harvest, we consider ancestral histories, the local area and the future of the Twin Lakes region. This is the final part of the series we began three weeks ago to celebrate the release of our two Nyul Nyul teas.

Gubinge - Out On The Harvest Part II

This week we continue our series celebrating the Gubinge Harvest and the release of our two new Nyul Nyul teas. Read on as the weather turns nasty and I get my first taste of Jilungin, before being confronted with some rather difficult considerations.

Gubinge - Out On The Harvest Part I

Western Australia is where we at Loving Earth source our Gubinge from. Scientifically proven to be the highest natural source of Vitamin C on the planet, Gubinge, otherwise known as Terminalia Ferdinandiana or the kakadu plum, is harvested by the people of the Nyul Nyul tribe on their land North of James Price Point, about two hours from Broome in the Kimberley region.

Gubinge: the Australian Indigenous Superfood and the highest natural source of Vitamin C on the planet

One day a while back, Bruno walked into the health food store in Broome. The store had some of Loving Earth’s Goji and Camu Camu raw chocolate bars, Camu Camu being a very high Vitamin C berry from the Peruvian Amazon. The woman working in the shop knew him and so she said “Hey Bruno! Check this out! These guys have this stuff from the Amazon that's real high in Vitamin C, but that Gubinge, it's much better, you should get him onto it!”.

Caring For the Land – Bushfire Management In The Kimberley

The last of vibrant yellow flowers cling stubbornly to wattle branches, full bloom now lost to the ground, relics boldly exhibiting past splendour. It is August and the battle of the South and East winds cool short days, ruffling the landscape and all that resides there. A lone hawk underestimating a gust of air, abandons typically graceful navigation. Clumsily retreating, it is now perched high on an old white gum branch, preening itself clean of the disorder. Clearly unimpressed at being caught out.

Caring & Sharing - An Australian Cuisine

Considering Australia's growing reputation as a mecca for all things gastronic and the attendant 'dining boom', it's odd that there's a conspicuous lack of a truly Australian cuisine. While much fanfare is made of the native meats and fish, there's a conspicuous lack of imagination surrounding bush tucker and our wonderful array of native fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and spices. Chef Jock Zonfrillo is seeking to change that.
