Ititja is a native plant with poisonous seeds, but the Jangal flowers and seeds are not poisonous. I used to pull the stem out of the flower and suck on it, it’s sweet and takes like honey. They also have round seeds that turn bright red. I would suck on the them and spit out the seed, it’s really sticky like glue.
