Keep in mind different species can behave in different ways, for example Acacia victoriae starts popping like popcorn when it gets hot and flys everywhere and some of the other wattleseeds don’t do that, just depends on the species you get.
Roast wattleseed before eating
Raw or black wattleseed in high in protein, iron and fibre, a truly Australian wild herb superfood. Keep in mind that the raw seeds often contain amylase inhibitors, so to neutralise them they need to be roasted or even boiled before being eaten. Roasting also gives wattleseed its nutty, chocolate and coffee like flavour and amazing aroma.
