Fruit rich in antioxidants
From the National Indigenous Times:
Issue 61 - 04 Aug 2004
Eleagnus triflora var. triflore. Family Elaeagnaceae. 
The term 'antioxidant' appears frequently in media coverage of health and nutrition. Antioxidants refers to several groups of naturally occurring food components which protect the body by neutralising so-called ‘free radicals’ which damage certain cells and the immune system.
It so happens that many of the bushfoods traditionally used by Indigenous Australians are rich in antioxidants, especially the fruits.
One such fruit, Eleagnus triflora, unofficially called Millaa-millaa, contains four times as much lyeopene as any other plant in the world.
Lyeopene is the antioxidant which gives the reddish colour to tomatoes and capsicums, and by coincidence the Elaeagnus fruit has a taste of tomato that is quite sweet.
