Solanum centrale

The Desert Raisin, scientifically known as Solanum centrale, is a small, tart fruit native to the arid regions of central Australia. Also known as the bush tomato, this wild fruit is a staple in the diet of Indigenous Australians. It grows on a small shrub and produces round, green fruits that turn golden-brown when dried, resembling raisins.
