About Us
AFI supplies innovative chefs, caterers and home cooks with uniquely Australian wild food ingredients to make appealing menus and great dishes easy. Recipes, menu ideas and high quality ingredients are all to be found on this site.
We also focus on the health-giving properties of Australian wild foods and can help you look younger, feel better and age more slowly with LIFE (Lyophilized Indigenous Food Essentials)™. We also have other support products based on traditional Aboriginal bush medicines.
And to address food safety, food waste reduction and product shelf life extension AFI has Herbal-Active® (as a powdered concentrate) and Herbal-Active® Natural Food Rinse (in a pack ready to dilute and use) as natural alternatives to synthetic chemicals. Incidentally, Herbal-Active® is at least 100 times more effective at reducing total microbial load than the best chemical products and 10,000 times better than most domestic brands of 'disinfectant'.
We supply a wide range of companies and consumers who use our natural antimicrobial in food products and as functional flavours, in non-sugar sweeteners, for sanitizing ingredients, produce and packaging, for shelf life enhancement in skin care and cosmetic products, pet care products and on and on.

But where did it all begin?
It may have historically been traditional Aboriginal bush tucker or bushfood but in these modern times the ingredients selected as commercial have morphed into the quintessential elements of an Australian cuisine. AFI and the authentic Australian ingredients in which we specialize, leads the market in our quality, range, volumes and innovation of ingredients and professionalism of service.
