A rainforest species that belongs to the same family as hibiscus and cacao. It’s endemic to Northern Australia. It produces attractive orange seed pods that split to expose black seeds that are the real gem you want to try. The nutty seeds can be eaten raw or roasted for a taste reminiscent of macadamia or peanuts.
