Saltbush

Our Saltbush is dried and comes in a tea grade flake (varying size from 2mm - 4mm) ready to season all your savoury goodies. Like all of the things. 

If you tell any farmers over the age of 60 that saltbush is now a bit of a delicacy, they would laugh in your face. A bit like the lamb shank, which was once fed to the farm dogs but is now one of the priciest cuts in the butcher’s shop, saltbush was only eaten by the sheep. Alas, it should be eaten by us all – it is wonderful.

Note: There are many different species of saltbush. We tend to use old man saltbush the most.

How to Use

A huge number of seeds come from the flowering after spring and autumn and they are like little salty popcorn kernels, but were also ground and mixed with water to make dough cooked in coals.

We have loads on our farm, as I walk around I just pick it and nibble on it. A bit like the sheep. It's dried (not dehydrated) in the shade to keep the colour and nutrients, and comes in fine tea-grade flakes.

Note: When using fresh leaves you can dry them and blitz them to use as powder.

Recipes

You can also taste this delicious flavour in our Salt & Pepper Mix, perfect for your salt grinder at home.

Our products are all made in Australia from 100% locally sourced, seasonal and wild harvested produce.

Warndu means good in the Adnyamathanha language. 

Our mission is to REGENERATE culture, community, tradition, health and our soils. Every product we make includes one or more Australian Native ingredients. 

In our efforts to be zero waste and plastic free, and with the changes to recycling in Australia, we will be phasing out all plastic bags. For now you may receive your spices, teas and home products in either black, white or clear plastic, and once that is all gone our amazing new compostable plant-based packaging will be what you will receive products in.
Thanks for your patience and understanding whilst we endeavour to tread lightly on your yarta (land).

To maintain Warndu taste we keep smaller quantities on hand of our Australian Natives, it takes us a little while to dry, roast or grind them to make. We aim to send all orders within ten days of receiving them.
