Wattleseed
Edible seed from selected Australian Acacia species, traditionally eaten or roasted and ground into flour; species and preparation matter because not all wattles are edible.
About Wattleseed
Wattleseed is a culinary ingredient made from the seeds of selected Australian acacia species. It is commonly roasted and ground, then used as a flavouring or flour-like ingredient; some preparations use whole seeds. The name covers more than one species, and not every acacia seed is established as edible, so the particular source and preparation matter.
Roasted, ground wattleseed is a dry, brown powder with a distinctive aromatic, toasted flavour often described as nutty or coffee-like. Whole or differently processed seeds have another texture and may be used differently. Products sold as wattleseed vary in species, roasting and grind, and should not be treated as a single standardized flour.
