Australian Bush Tucker Bites presents Brisbane Wattle (Acacia fimbriata).

The striking golden blooms of this small tree line the roads in late Winter and early Spring. It’s a delightful addition to any garden just for that!

Following the blooms, the trees are bedecked with pods that start green and slowly turn brown. These seeds are edible and loved by the native birds.

Indigenous Australians harvested the seeds and ate them raw or roasted and pounded them using strong bark and rocks to make a gluten-free flour that is prized today. The roasted seeds have a pleasant nutty flavour that can also be used to season meats or make pastry.

The seeds are also wonderfully nutritious, containing:

  • up to 20% protein
  • potassium
  • fibre
  • unsaturated fats and oils
  • starchy carbohydrates

Nutrition, ecosystem services and golden blooms! What’s not to love!?
