Lime, Passionfruit + Kakadu Plum Slice
Glen Hagger
GH Produce Naked Nola Granola makes the perfect base for a slice! Blend it up, press it down and there you have it. Making use of the delicious, seasonal, citrus fruits at the moment, we have combined the flavours of sweet, sour, tart and salty, to create a fresh, tangy and VERY moorish, slice. These flavours are made up from fresh citrus, coconut and Kakadu Plum.
Kakadu Plum is a Native Australian Superfood. It contains the highest recorded levels of natural Vitamin C of any fruit in the world, more than 100 times the Vitamin C found in an orange. Only 1g of Freeze Dried Kakadu Plum powder matches the Vitamin C content found in an entire orange. Through its high antioxidant properties, 5 times higher than blueberries, it helps build a healthier immune system. This, in turn, is a great way to reduce your risk of developing certain diseases and conditions.
But what does it taste like? Kakadu Plum is purchased in powder form and has a sort of sweet and sour taste, a tartness which gives off an aroma of stewed apples of pears. This ads an exciting little hit of flavour to many dishes including desserts, smoothies, baked goods and soups.
Since it is Citrus Season we want to give you all a gift!
