When roasted, wattleseed in general has a round coffee/chocolate/hazelnut flavour, suitable for using in sweet and savoury dishes. Our blend aims to produce a very rich, quite strong flavour. Please contact us if you want single-variety wattleseed.
Wattleseed has a round coffee/chocolate/hazelnut flavour, suitable for using in sweet and savoury dishes.
Our wattleseed is wild-harvested on the lands of the Nukunu people in the southern Flinders Rangers, South Australia.
Use wattleseed:
In baking. It is superb in breads, dampers, rolls, etc.
In sweet cooking, where it will add a lovely warm nutty round flavour – biscuits, cakes, icecream, sorbets, etc.
In rubs, bastes, marinades, and salad dressings.
As a hot drink in its own right, or added to coffee/chocolate in a plunger or espresso machine. Wattleseed contains no caffeine.
It is soluble in water, although it doesn’t dissolve, and adds a rich brown colour to cooking.
