The Mulga produces important food in Central Australia. The seeds are ground and eaten, tasting similar to peanut butter. The Mulga apple, a gall caused by wasps is also eaten. Sweet honey dew made by lerps is also collected and made into a sweet drink. Honey dew is also gathered and taken down deep under the Mulga to the home of the honey ant, another popular bush food.
