Why You’ll Love It

Old Man Saltbush is a hardy native shrub that thrives in Australia’s dry inland regions. Traditionally used by Indigenous Australians for both food and medicine, it is naturally high in protein, fibre, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Unlike regular table salt, Saltbush provides a heart-friendly, potassium-based saltiness that enhances dishes while being much lower in sodium. It adds a delicious savory depth to meals while promoting overall well-being.

How to Use:

• Sprinkle over roasted meats, vegetables, and seafood for a mild, herby salt boost.
• Blend into spice rubs, dukkah, or salad dressings for extra depth.
• Use in bread, pasta, or polenta for a unique savory touch.
• Surprisingly delicious in fudge and chocolate-based desserts!
