ID 275058149 © Demamiel62 | Megapixl.com
Austromyrtus dulcis also known as midgen berry, midyim, and silky myrtle is found in native to eastern Australia. It grows as a small spreading shrub and is easily recognised by its characteristic berries that usually ripen in summer and autumn. The berries are a popular traditional bushfood, eaten by indigenous Australians and non-indigenous people. The melt-in-the-mouth berries are sweet and aromatic, with a pleasant peppery gingery flavour. While recognized as having good flavour qualities, the berries have not been commercialized due to harvesting and handling issues.
