Soap-bush Wattle

(Acacia holosericea)

Soapbush Wattle is particularly important bush food, as it has edible seeds and sap! 

A spectacular foliage plant, native to northern Australiaand is a small shrub/tree with

bluish- grey/green leaves, which are 'frosted' with a waxy coating. 

The flowers are bright yellow, followed by masses of curly seed pods, which are referred

 to as soap and tend to remove dirt from the skin when crushed in the hands.

Wattles are an Australian icon. Not only are they beautiful trees, but many have very tasty and nutritious  edible seeds and some have sweet sap which forms like

 sugar sacs.

The sap may be eaten out of hand or mixed with water to make a sugary cool and

 refreshingly Aussie drink!

By dark roasting wattle seed you will release the most delicious of nutty/coffee

 aromas and makes a fabulous nutritional addition to sauces, beverages, chocolate

 and desserts.

Pre-treatment of seed encourages better germination. 

Native seeds often respond well to smoke treatment, which also acts as a natural

 fungicide.
