Why blue - they look a purple brown?
A. The Quandong bears a bright iridescent blue fruit with a tangy, vitamin-C-rich edible green layer.It is the seed that is the rough, woody inner stone that is carved into beads or used for jewellery and craft.
These Blue Quandong Seeds come from a private property in the rainforest of Queensland. They were collected from under the tree and only roughly cleaned.
They need to be soaked till the old outer shell is softish, then tumbled, washed in a bowl with some sand and cleaned. Then drilled.
