<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Wattleseed&#039;&#039;&#039; is a term used to described the edible seeds from around 120 species of Australian &#039;&#039;[[Acacia]]&#039;&#039; were traditionally used as food by [[Australian aborigines]] and they were eaten either green (and cooked) or dried (and milled to a flour). <br /> <br /> Acacia seed flour has recently gained popularity in Australia due to its high nutritional content, hardiness, availability, and low toxicity. Due to its low [[glycemic index]], it is also often incorporated into [[diabetes|diabetic]] foods. [[Vic Cherikoff]] (a significant pioneer in the Australian native food industry) developed Wattleseed as a flavouring in 1984 from selected species and this is now the major commercial product used because of its chocolate, coffee, hazelnut flavour profile. It is often added to [[ice cream]], [[granola]], chocolates and [[bread]] and widely used by chefs to enhance sauces and in [[whipped cream]] and other dairy desserts.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * {{cite web|url=http://www.cherikoff.net/cherikoff/index.php?id=130|work=Vic Cherikoff|title=Wattleseed|accessdate=March 25|accessyear=2006}} (general information)<br /> * {{cite web|url=http://www.cherikoff.net/cherikoff/index.php?id=131|work=Vic Cherikoff|title=Wattleseed Extract|accessdate=March 25|accessyear=2006}} (general information)<br /> <br /> [[Category:bushfood]]<br /> [[Category:Edible nuts and seeds]]<br /> [[Category:Australian cuisine]]</div>
