Our Muntries are 100% and come from Western Victoria. These berries were a staple for Indigenous people who ate them fresh or dried them for later. Packed with antioxidants two and a half times more than blueberries and high in vitamin C, they’re both healthy and tasty.

With a texture like apples or pears and a mildly sweet flavour, you can add Muntries to desserts, savoury dishes, fruit salads, and baking. They are great in smoothies, juices, or sprinkled on breakfast bowls, yogurt, and ice cream.

Freeze dried Muntries make a good substitute for sultanas, and you can rehydrate them in warm water. They have a lovely scent and a taste like spicy apples. Use Muntries in cakes, and jams. Whether you’re decorating desserts or just snacking, Muntries are a delicious and versatile addition to your kitchen.
