Wattleseed (Ground) – 40gm
Wattleseed, the Acacia, was a mainstay in the diet of Australia’s earliest mobs for thousands of years providing a rich source of protein and carbohydrate in times of drought.
The seed was crushed into flour between flat grinding stones and cooked into cakes or damper. Even the green seeds of some species were eaten after baking in the hot coals.
