"Such a unique flavour unlike any spice I've tried before. Most likened to pepper but with more heat and with a delicious fruity bite to it which I LOVE! Basically replace pepper with pepperberry and it'll make every meal tastier!"

Old Man's Saltbush

"his is a very tasty powder that goes well with pretty much any protein - so far I've had great results using it on beans, chicken and lamb. It also makes an excellent combo with the lemon myrtle powder!"

- Kate ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

AUSTRALIAN GROWN

SUSTAINABLY SOURCED

NO GLUTEN OR WHEAT

Old Man's Saltbush is one of over 100 species of Saltbush native to Australia. Found in the arid interior regions, Old Man's Saltbush is famed for its salty, umami flavour and incredible drought-tolerant properties as a feed for livestock like lamb.

Saltbush can be used as delicious herb that is lower in sodium than table salt, so acts as a terrific alternative. Pour a teaspoon into stews, soups, or curries, or simply sprinkle over roasted potatoes for a deep, rich, and salty add-on. Try frying in extra virgin olive oil to add a crunchy, salty garnish that you can put in salads.

Sandi Y.

Gave great flavour to my cooking. Didn’t need to use any added normal salt at all and saltbush tastes much better than salt.

Harrison O.

Great addition when cooking

Justine B.

The dried salt bush leaves add a great flavour to meat! I have been using this on fish and red meat and have really liked the light and subtle salt flavour it adds.

It's ok

Eva McGinness

Delicate flavour The flavour is lovely, but not strong. It can easily be overpowered. I hope to buy a bush and try growing it to use leaves instead of powder.

Herby salt alternative Opening the package made me homesick - just inhaling the scent of this herb is fantastic. The packaging ensured the herb arrived in good condition, no mustiness detected. This herb is so multipurpose - I'm vegan now, but in my past life I used this as a rub for meats (chicken, lamb, fish), or sprinkle it on buffalo mozzarella or even cream cheese. Now I marinate my tofu block with this. I sprinkle it on my sandwiches instead of salt. I use it in baking (damper, scones, savoury shortbread, breads), I sprinkle it over my pasta or soup just before serving. I also used it as a tea when I had a cold and when I was craving salt after a long hike. My only regret is that I didn't buy the 500g bag (I bought 50 g as it was my first order with Melbourne Bush Foods and was wary about freshness and flavour profile) - given how much I have used it, I used it up pretty quickly. I can't recommend this product enough.

Great! A wonderful ingredient for my post-lockdown recipes

Saltbush I've recently spent some time in hospital with a health issue that means I now need to be on a low sodium diet. This saltbush is my new seasoning favourite. From Mexican dishes, to a pinch on eggs, it's delicious and a new family favourite.

Smith Cathryn

Aussie deliciousness I purchased two packages each of old man salt bush and Lemon Myrtle for myself and my daughter. She is planning to use hers on kangaroo steaks-but i couldn’t wait so had my herbs in pork fillet- it’s was so yummy! And thankyou for the delish dark choc with pepper berry.

Lynda

Saltbush Is Great In Place Of Salt I love your Saltbush because I use it in place of salt! Great to learn about Indigenous products and support a great Aussie initiative! :)

Stephanie

Incredible This is such a beautiful and surprising bush food to supplant regular salt in cooking. I used it in a vegetarian soup but I think the herby taste is going to stand out with meat!

Am loving this! Am loving the saltbush. I can't have slat at the moment and kelp flakes are quite high sodium, so this has been a god send!
