Description
Botanical name: Davidsonia jerseyana
Endemic to the ancient subtropical rainforests of northern New South Wales, Davidson Plum is one of Australia’s most cherished native fruits, valued for its vivid colour, refined tartness and naturally aromatic depth. Traditionally used for thousands of years by Indigenous communities for both culinary and ceremonial purposes, this remarkable fruit continues to inspire modern Australian cuisine with its distinctive flavour and visual brilliance.
Sourced from the Northern Rivers region, Spice Zen’s Davidson Plum Powder is made from fruit grown in the rich soils stretching from the Tweed to the Brunswick River catchment. Each plum is freeze-dried at peak ripeness, capturing its intense colour, bright berry-like character and elegant, slightly tangy finish.
Its stunning deep-red colour enriches everything from desserts and drinks to savoury glazes and dressings.
Flavour & Aroma Profile
Bright, berry-forward and delicately tangy with soft floral notes, gentle musk and a refined rhubarb-like character.
Naturally infuses dishes with a rich, ruby-red hue.
