Kakadu Plum Syrup - The Sweetener that Heals & Protects

I have always sought out natural sweeteners that not only satisfy the palate but also offer health benefits. More often than not, my search has revolved around finding the least harmful options. So, when I discovered that Kakadu Plum can be transformed into a syrup, I was made up. Let me take you through my journey with this remarkable syrup, its incredible health benefits, and how it has seamlessly integrated into my daily routine from sweetening smoothies, making weird personal crafted coffees and in the summer some incredible smoothie bowls. During the winter months in the UK, I steer clear of Kakadu Plum Syrup and instead indulge in the comforting warmth of soup. To enhance my bowls of goodness, I like to sprinkle in some of our Nettle Leaf & Root Powder—what a delightful combination! Here’s to staying healthy for the next 200 years! Anyway I digress, let's talk Kakadu Plum, the undisputed No.1 Superfood of Australia with record-breaking levels of Vitamin C. Kakadu beats everything even some of my other favourites like Camu Camu and Acerola.
