A barcode is a machine-readable representation of a unique number, allowing retailers to track product sales in their inventory system. It typically consists of dark ink on a light background, forming high and low reflectance patterns that are converted to binary digits. UPCs (12 digits) and EANs (13 digits) are common types of barcodes.

Premium Australian Native Fruits, Herbs, Spices, Teas, Seeds and more..

Australia once harboured over 5,000 edible plants, nourishing the ancient Indigenous civilizations for 65,000 years. Adapted to Australia’s harsh environments, native plants and bush foods evolved with exceptional resilience. This unique adaptation led to fruits, herbs, and spices rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, surpassing the nutritional content of many conventional foods. Consequently, these Australian-native ingredients stand out as genuine superfoods, a testament to the country’s rich ancestral heritage and natural bounty.

Founded by a Nutritionist

Over 20 years ago, after studying Naturopathy, the seed of NATIF was sewn. Owning a 25-acre herb farm, Julie Merlet lived the ‘naturopathic way’, so it made sense to her to plant, grow and eat native foods. Julie’s intuition was telling her that working in the native foods industry would be part of a much bigger picture.

NATIF supports local growers and outback communities. They educate and encourage the use of Australian native ingredients.
