Boab Fruits | Kimberleys | Western Australia
The boab (Adansonia gregorii) is endemic to the Kimberley region of Western Australia and to the east of the Northern Territory. The trees can store huge amounts of water which is of great benefit i.e. in the dry season that naturally occurs in the north of Australia, and most parts of the tree are edible. The aboriginal people of Australia use the white powder that fills the seed pods of the boab fruits as a food as the fruits of the boab are full of minerals, vitamins and dietary fibres. I’ve never tasted it but it’s said it has a lemony taste.
