Syzygium Leuhmanii (Lilly Pilly) Fruit Extract
What is it?
This super plant is harvested from a Myrtaceae. S. paniculatum tree, which is endemic to New South Wales, Australia. You can find them along the coasta; strip in five separate geographical areas: Jervis Bay, Coalcliff, Botany Bay, Central Coast and Seal Rocks. Also called Riberry, Lilly Pillies were regularly consumed as food and medicine by the Aboriginal people in Australia. Because of its sweet, tarty taste children loved to snack on them, while the adults turned to them for medicinal purposes.
