Bunya Nuts



What to do with an abundance of Bunya Nuts - this bush tucker is a little tricky to get to the edible nut.  This blog will outline how to harvest and cook the nut ready to use in other recipes.


The large cone falls from the Bunya Tree in late December to mid January.  Most common regions are South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales of Australia.
The edible nut is encased in a segmented section of the cone.

Once separated the nut can be roasted over an open fire or boiled for 20 minutes you will need to cut the shell to reveal the actual nut inside.
