This is the first comprehensive set of tables of composition of Australian indigenous foods, compiled with the help of the original Aboriginal users and Bush tucker Man's Major Les Hiddens. The data was drawn from over 1200 samples representing about 500 different bush foods, and includes figures for content of dietary fibre, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin C, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, copper, lead, cadmium and phosphorus, as well as water, energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate and ash.
