New Root Vegetables for the Native Food Industry: quantity

This project aimed to systematically assess the horticultural potential of southern Western Australia’s diverse tuberous flora and commence commercialisation of promising species as new vegetable crops.
The importance of this RIRDC report is that it provides that an overview of progress towards introducing new native vegetable products into the Australian food industry. There is a distinct lack of native vegetable products available and a requirement for native vegetable products was identified by consumers, chefs and suppliers of native foods.
