Solanum centrale, the kutjera, or Australian desert raisin, is a plant native to the more arid parts of Australia.

Like other "bush tomatoes", it has been used as a food source by Central Australia and Aboriginal groups for millennia.

[1] Like many plants of the genus Solanum, desert raisin is a small bush and has a thorny aspect.

The fruit are 1–3 cm in diameter, yellow in color when fully ripe, vitamin C-rich and possibly a source of vitamin D.[2] These fruits dry on the bush, look like raisins and have a strong, pungent taste of tamarillo and caramel that makes them popular for use in sauces and condiments.

Traditionally, the dried fruit are collected from the small bushes in late autumn and early winter.
