This berry grows wild in the rainforests of northeastern and northwestern Tasmania. The main collection area is in the hills of “Surrey Hills”, near the now-extinct town of Parrawe. The berries are handpicked from March to April and then air-dried. Only 5 tons of Tasmanian berries are harvested each year. Tasmanian berry, widely used by Aboriginal peoples, is now essential in Australian local cuisine “bushtucker”: a set of wild animal and plant species from Australia. Moreover, the term “bushtucker” also refers to the privileged status enjoyed by the man of the Aboriginal tribe who is responsible for hunting and gathering.
Discovered by the French botanist Jean-Louis Marie Poiret, Tasmanian berry was used in cooking by indigenous peoples. Renowned for its aphrodisiac and antimicrobial properties, this wild berry was widely used in traditional medicine. In cooking, it was mainly used to marinate meats such as ostrich, emu, crocodile, or kangaroo.
