🫐 Muntries: The Tiny Bush Berries With Big Antioxidant Power

Superfood Spotlight: Muntries

Also known as native cranberries, muntries are small, crisp, apple‑like berries traditionally harvested by Indigenous communities across southern Australia. Don’t let their size fool you—these little green‑to‑red gems are antioxidant dynamos with a sweet‑spicy flavor that feels like apple meets juniper with a hint of spice.

They’re crunchy, aromatic, and incredibly versatile—equally at home in salads, chutneys, desserts, and trail mixes.
