Nutrafruit
Key Facts:
- The Queen Garnet plum website crashed due to a surge of national interest after Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth featured the Australian superfruit in his health and wellness series Azza & Zoc Do Earth.
- The Queen Garnet was developed from 1997 by Queensland Government plant scientists through traditional, non-GMO cross-breeding, and contains approximately six times the antioxidants of blueberries and twenty times those of conventional plums.
- Ongoing independent research at four Australian universities has highlighted potential benefits for brain health, cognitive ageing, gut health, and metabolic health, with one study finding Queen Garnet juice reversed obesity in rats fed a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet.
- Researchers have identified a gut–brain connection, whereby the plum's anthocyanins are converted into brain-active compounds by the gut microbiome, with early pilot trials reporting promising findings on human cognition.
- Nutrafruit Chair Bonney Ghosh attributed the extraordinary public response to a combination of homegrown innovation, natural wellness appeal, and the growing body of scientific evidence underpinning the Queen Garnet's nutritional profile.
