Bunya Nut Recipes

          

Bunya Pine

Araucaria bidwillii

Recipes from Share: a permaculture cookbook

  • Roo ‘n’ Bunya curry
  • Bunya nut pesto

Bunya pine is a large tree native to the Bunya Mountains and surrounding areas in southeast Queensland.  It produces soccer ball size cones in late summer, each cone containing 30 – 60 nuts.

‘For generations, First Nations peoples gathered every three years for a great bunya feast.  While bunyas fruit annually, every three to four years there would be a bumper crop, and this was the time for differences to be set aside and clans to gather, feast, trade, marry, perform initiations, and other ceremonial duties’. (State Library of Qld)

The nuts are high in starch and other complex carbohydrates.  They can be boiled, roasted, or dried and made into flour.  They can be used for purees, pestos, stuffing, and sauces.
