All you need to know
Developed in Queensland and grown in all states around Australia, The Queen Garnet has been hailed as a “superfood” due to its antioxidant content.
Anthocyanin is an antioxidant found in many naturally dark coloured fruits, such as blackcurrants, blueberries and raspberries. It’s the pigment that gives the Queen Garnet its very dark purple flesh and skin.
The Queen Garnet is a unique variety. This variety has dark flesh typical to Blood Plums, yet has a sweetness comparable to Sugar Plum, and a firmer texture than many other plums. What makes it particularly special is the dense nutritional and polyphenol profile unique to the Queen Garnet, which has been studied by many scientists.
Queen Garnet is in season from late January until the beginning of April.
In Australia, Queen Garnets are available in Woolworths and Coles supermarkets and independent fruit and vegetable retailers while in season.
Our nectar is made from Queen Garnet plums, with no added sugar, no added colours or flavours, and not from concentrate. We remove the seed then press and bottle the whole plums - wholefruit fibres included! This makes QG Nectar more like a ready-to-drink fruit smoothie, than a typical juice.
There are approximately three Queen Garnet plums per 250ml bottle of nectar.
The Queen Garnet was bred by plant breeders at the Queensland Government’s Department of Agriculture and Fisheries and is owned by the Queensland Government. Nutrafruit has an exclusive right to market the Queen Garnet.
