Boiled the bunya nuts until i saw the ends split a bit (under an hour-ish). The water goes reddy brown.

Now drained and set aside to cool.

Read that you can drink the reddened bunya water too so had a taste (it's not a strong flavour but nice in a brothy kind of way). Though i also read it's a dye. 🤷‍♀️

The fruit of the majestic Bunya Pine has been an important part of indigenous culture for thousands of years. Today many landowners today consider it dangerous and annoying garden waste.

It's bunya nut season. First of the crop (we've found). A tiddler at 3.3kg (can get up to 10kg) #bunya #bunyanut https://theconversation.com/bunya-pines-are-ancient-delicious-and-possibly-deadly-96003

Bunya nut pesto. Turned out yum.

One small bunya pine cone from my first foraging excursion wouldn't open. So left it outside in the yard for a week or so. Noticed it was starting to open so looked to see if there were any nuts. Yes, but not many. Going to boil them up anyway and see how it goes.

Couldn't see any bunya pine cones up in the trees in the park, waiting to fall. So may have to wait till next season for more bush tucker cooking adventures. #park #walk #TreesOfFediverse #BunyaPine #BunyaNut #cooking #BushTucker

The nuts that didn't turn out were brown inside and squishy. Bit sad i won't have enough to make anything. But it's been exciting just having a go.

One bunya nut out of all those turned out. And it was yummy. Nutty but also a bit like a really nice potato chip or roast potato. Going to try again and hope for more nuts working out.
