The seeds of acacia species, which when roasted and ground give an aroma between coffee, chocolate and hazelnut. They have been a source of flour for Aboriginal peoples for thousands of years and today go into breads and desserts. ⚠️ Only the seeds of certain acacia species are edible; not all are.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
