About Kangaroo grass seed

Kangaroo grass seed is the small edible grain of kangaroo grass, used as a gathered native food. The seeds can be ground into flour; the resulting flour is a distinct form from whole seed and is used in food preparation.

Whole seeds are small and hard, while ground seed has a meal-like texture. The flavour of the seed or flour can vary with maturity and processing, so it is best described without assuming a particular taste or a standardized commercial form.
