MULGA APPLE
The 'mulga apple', is an Australian bush tucker food, often eaten by Aborigines of Central Australia.
The mulga apple is in fact a combination of plant and animal; the insect gall grows inside the wood of the mulga tree ''(Acacia aneura'').
Mulga apple is known as ''Merne ataltyakwerle'' in the Arrernte language of Central Australia.
It grows on the end of the mulga branches. Aborigines eat them raw or cook them in hot earth. Mulga trees grow in flat country and at the foot of hills.
