Wattleseed is the edible seed of several species of Acacia trees, native to Australia. These seeds are small, oval-shaped, and typically dark brown or black. They have been used by Indigenous Australians for thousands of years as a food source, often ground into flour for baking or cooking. Rich in protein and nutrients, wattleseed has a nutty flavor with hints of coffee and chocolate. It can be used in various dishes, including bread, cakes, and sauces. Today, wattleseed is gaining popularity in modern cuisine and is often featured in gourmet recipes and health foods.
