The Riberry has a refreshingly tart, spicy flavour that has a hint of cloves and cinnamon. Fruit can vary in taste depending on selection.

The Riberry can be enjoyed on a fancy cheese plate, stirred through Greek yoghurt, squashed over ice cream or eaten raw! Also used to make distinctively flavoured jams, sauces, syrups, glazes, confit, chutney, cakes, salad dressing and confectionery. Riberry can even be infused in vodka to create a magic cinnamon tasting cocktail!

The Lilly Pilly, as it’s also known, was one of the first edible plants to be noted during Captain Cook’s visit to Australia in 1770. It’s also reported to be one of the first fruits consumed as jam or cordials by early colonists of Australia.

Riberry has high levels of folate and antioxidants. Riberries are also a very good source of calcium.
