Galeru increasing its range of rainforest products with Australian native tamarind. Not only hard to find in the wild, it is a threatened and protected species. Back when he began planting Galeru’s rainforest orchard in the Noosa hinterland, David was fortunate to obtain precious seedlings and now, after more than ten years, these trees may be the only commercial source of this unique fruit. Once again, Martha has found a way to utilise what would otherwise be unpalatable and make it into a delicious addition to yoghurt or ice cream. Its flavour is unique–like a blend of apricot and something elusive yet pleasing. For want of a better definition it is called “Native Apricot” and is proving very popular at festivals and markets.
