Company overview
Nutrafruit is a Brisbane-based company, established in 2010 when it secured the exclusive global commercialisation licence to a new type of plum (Queen Garnet or QG). This plum has a high anthocyanin content, giving it an array of potential health benefits that are backed by published research, including normalising blood pressure, weight loss, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes, and providing relief from inflammatory bowel disease. Unlike other anthocyanin-rich foods that tend to be bitter, the Queen Garnet has a highly desirable, sweet flavour profile.
Products, varieties and brands
As well as the fresh Queen Garnet Plum, in season from February to March, Nutrafruit has a range of retail ready value-added products using minimal waste processing methods. Queen Garnet Nectar contains 100% whole pureed plum and the leftover fibre and skins from this process are freeze dried to form freeze-dried powder sachets, probiotic chewables, and probiotic & prebiotic powder. These are sold through distribution channels including Woolworths supermarkets (our nectar is sold in most Woolworths stores in Australia), online, independent retailers and selected pharmacies.
