Made from 100% Australian-grown wattleseed, this carefully balanced 50/50 blend delivers a rich, aromatic flavour with earthy, nutty characteristics and distinctive notes of roasted coffee, dark chocolate and hazelnut.
Carefully roasted and finely ground to develop its natural depth and aroma, our Golden Blend is a versatile Australian native ingredient, perfect for baking, desserts, chocolate, ice cream, beverages and savoury cooking.
A Distinctive Australian Native Ingredient
Wattleseed has been an important ingredient in Aboriginal food traditions for thousands of years. Traditionally harvested, processed and prepared as food, edible wattleseed remains one of Australia's most distinctive native culinary ingredients.
Our Golden Blend combines two complementary Australian Acacia species:
- Acacia saligna: Contributes rich, earthy characteristics with roasted coffee and dark chocolate notes.
- Acacia baileyana: Adds warm, aromatic and nutty characteristics with hints of roasted hazelnut.
Together, these two varieties create a balanced, aromatic roasted wattleseed blend with a complex flavour profile suitable for both sweet and savoury applications.

Golden Blend Wattleseed offers a distinctive combination of:
- Rich roasted coffee notes
