Ah, I couldn't wait to write about this amazing fruit and took some time out today. The Davidson Plum is a fruit native to Australia that grows in the subtropical rainforests of Queensland and New South Wales. This unique fruit is highly treasured by the indigenous people of Australia for its medicinal properties and nutrient-rich content. The Davidson Plum is scientifically known as Davidsonia jerseyana and belongs to the plant family Davidsoniaceae. The Davidson Plum is a small-sized fruit with a dark purple hue and a unique taste that is both tart and sweet. The fruit is highly aromatic and has a distinct earthy flavour that makes it stand out from other fruits. The flesh of the Davidson Plum is soft and juicy, with a seed situated in the centre. The nutritional value of Davidson Plum is exceptional, making it a highly sought-after fruit in the food industry.

Davidson Plum is known to be rich in essential vitamins such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Vitamin A. It is also a good source of antioxidants and minerals such as zinc, iron, and calcium. The fruit's beneficial properties stem from its high levels of bioflavonoids, specifically anthocyanins that give the fruit its purple colour. Now, unless you are actually one of our great friends over in Australia. you won't be able to pick this fruit and enjoy its juice, but it's shown our dried Davidson Plums have the same effect.
