Wild foods have sustained the World’s longest living culture, the Indigenous Australians for over 65,000 years. Over the last few decades, research has revealed the amazing nutritional and medicinal qualities of wild foods and how adding them back into our diet can improve our health, how we feel, our appearance and even the rate at which we age. This podcast is all about how these foods and their protective, healing and immune-boosting components can change your life in the face of the falling nutritional quality of modern foods.

A common name for trehalose is Resurrection sugar because a small desert plant which dried to crispness but stayed green the whole time, could be watered well and then start photosynthesizing within 24 to 48 hours. From an apparent 'death' it came back to life.
I once saw horse-shoe crabs in pot-holes of the rocks I passed on the track once when climbing Uluru (with permission from the Elders). It had rained the preceding night and the mud in the pot-holes would have been dry for many months before that rain. Those crabs, like the resurrection plant I mentioned above, contained trehalose which despite dessication, preserved the integrity of the proteins, fats, carbohydrates and the structures and components they formed.
The horse-shoe crustaceans could well be called Resurrection Crabs and the trehalose a remarkable sugar.
Listen to the podcast to discover more secrets of this fascinating sugar.
