Benefits:
Acerola has high vitamin C content which can be up to 80 times higher compared to citrus fruits, such as oranges and lemons. In addition, it is an excellent source of other important bioactive components, such as anthocyanins, carotenoids, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds. Acerola is a novel functional food with various health promoting and biological activities, and high bioavailability. Acerola enhances the immune response of the body due to the presence of high vitamin C and bioactive compounds.
Green banana is a great source of resistant starch.
Benefits:
Green banana resistant starch is a complex carbohydrate prebiotic food which resists digestion in the small intestine and ferments in the colon. The consumption of prebiotics, through their effects on the colonic microflora, will enhance immune functionality. Prebiotics can modulate various properties of the immune system, including those of the gut-associated lymphoid tissues.
Davidson’s plum is a native fruit found in areas of subtropical and tropical rainforests of eastern Australia. The Davidson Plum was traditionally bush food for the First Nations People of Australia, who took them raw despite the fruit’s sharp acidity.
Benefits:
The fruit is also rich in flavonoid (Quercetin), vitamins (Vitamin E, Vitamin A and Vitamin C), minerals (magnesium, potassium, zinc, and calcium) and several other important secondary metabolites, such as anthocyanins, natural pigments that are strong antioxidants which help protect cells against the damaging effects of free radicals.
These comprehensive combination of phytonutrients in davidson’s plum bolsters the body immunity.
Desert lime is the most widely occurring Australian native citrus. The desert lime trees are the only known member of the Citrus family, which is a xerophyte, being adapted to withstand drought by dropping leaves. Desert limes were a known food source for indigenous Australians.
Benefits:
Desert lime is a very rich source of Vitamin C, calcium, folate, Vitamin E and lutein which are health-enhancing components. Desert lime is a novel source of antioxidants which prevent cell damage against free radicals and are critical for maintaining optimum health.
Elderberry is a dark purple fruit from elder black tree, which grows in the warmer parts of Europe.
Benefits:
Elderberry is a promising dietary source of bioactive ingredients, such as (poly)phenolic compounds and terpenoid compounds. Studies demonstrate that elderberry possesses plenty of health functions, mainly including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral, antidiabetic, cardiovascular protective, neuroprotective activities. Elderberry juice exerts anti-influenza activity through stimulating the immune response owing to acidic polysaccharide and phenolic compounds.
Echinacea is one of the coneflowers, a group of native American wildflowers from the Daisy Family (Asteraceae).
Benefits:
Echinacea is an immunomodulating herb which prevents common colds and other upper respiratory tract infections. It is also used as an antiseptic and antiviral. Echinacea has alkyl amide and polysaccharide, that works by stimulating your immune system to produce an increased number of white blood cells.
Kakadu Plum is an Australian functional food which aboriginal people have been using for thousands of years as a traditional food and medicine.
Benefits:
Kakadu plum is among the world’s highest known sources of vitamin C. It has antioxidant activity through high oxygen radical absorbance capacity and cellular antioxidant activity. Kakadu plums are also rich in ellagic acid and galic acid, a polyphenol known for antioxidant properties. Ellagic acid and galic acid have been linked to possible health benefits including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and prebiotic effects. The Kakadu plum was even considered by Australian indigenous more as medicine than food. It impairs immunity and increases the likelihood of infections. The fruit is also a good source of copper, which is important for red blood cell formation, immune system function, and connective tissue and bone formation.
The Quandong peach is a truly unique native Australian fruit originally found in the Western and Southern regions of Australia. The quandong fruit is generally bright red in colour and contains a large seed that accounts for around 50 percent of the total weight of the fruit.
Benefits:
Quandong peach offers a valuable vegan source of folate and zinc. Folate is a physiologically essential trace element, functions in the hemoglobin in red blood cells, which transports oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues. The high content of Zinc which is an essential trace element, influences growth and affects the development and integrity of the immune system. Quandong peach a powerful source of Vitamin E and vitamin A among fruits.
