Tucker bush Millaa Millaa (Elaeagnus triflora)

Discover the remarkable Millaa Millaa, a tropical shrub that offers both culinary and medicinal delights. Native to Far North Queensland, its red, kumquat-like fruits are sweet and tangy, perfect for jams, pies, savory sauces, or even infused teas and alcohols. Packed with lycopene, a potent antioxidant linked to cancer prevention, the fruit also boasts an edible seed with a nutty flavour. Used in Aboriginal medicine to treat dysentery, Millaa Millaa is as healing as it is delicious. Thriving in sun or shade, it's a stunning addition to any garden, climbing up to 5 meters with fragrant flowers that attract beneficial insects. A true gem for both your kitchen and health!
