Wildgrown Bush Citrus Salt (80g)

Elevate your kitchen with the bright, coastal-inspired flavours of Wildhorse Homestead’s Bush Citrus Salt. This artisanal finishing salt is a labour of love, crafted in small batches to capture the essence of a sun-drenched Queensland grove. We combine mineral-rich Pink Himalayan Sea Salt with a signature blend of our homestead-grown and wild-harvested botanicals, resulting in a seasoning that offers a “more-lemon-than-lemon” aroma and a complex, zesty finish.

“Bush Fire” Charred Cauliflower & Chickpeas
Featuring Wildhorse Homestead Bush Citrus Salt
Marinate:
Toss 500g of cauliflower florets and a drained tin of chickpeas in 2 tbsp olive oil and a generous pinch of chilli. Spread on a baking tray or heat a cast-iron pan to high.
Sear:
Roast or pan-sear until the cauliflower edges are deeply charred and the chickpeas are crispy. The high heat will caramelise the natural sugars in the vegetables, providing a sweet, smoky base.
Finish:
Remove from heat and immediately sprinkle with Bush Citrus Salt. The residual heat will bloom the essential oils in the Lemon Myrtle and Bitter Orange, creating a fragrant citrus lift that cuts through the earthiness of the cauliflower and chickpeas.

Bush Citrus Salt: Usage Intensity Guide

This is a finishing salt, meaning a small sprinkle delivers a powerful sensory impact. Use this guide to find your perfect zest:
Level 1: The Coastal Breeze (Mild)
The Ratio: A light pinch over a finished plate.
The Result: A subtle, refreshing citrus aroma that brightens the dish without changing the salt profile significantly.
Level 2: The Homestead Zest (Medium/Vibrant)
The Ratio: A generous sprinkle (approx. 1/4 teaspoon) per serve.
The Result: The “hero” seasoning. The Bitter Orange and Lime become clear, cutting through fats and adding a sophisticated, tangy edge.
Level 3: The Wildwood (Bold)
The Ratio: Used as a crust or heavy rim.
The Result: A high-impact citrus explosion. The floral notes of the Lemon Myrtle and Lemongrass take centre stage—ideal for bold plant-based dishes or citrus-forward cocktails.

Homestead Tip: Because we use no anti-caking agents, the natural citrus oils may cause the salt to settle. Give your jar a gentle shake before use to redistribute the herbs and ensure a perfect citrus-to-salt ratio every time.
