Acacia victoriae produces protein and nutrient-rich seeds that have been traditionally used by Aboriginal peoples for thousands of years and are now finding their way into a wide range of modern foods including flour blends, breads, desserts, ice cream, mousses and hot beverages. The seeds have a distinctive roasted, nutty flavour and are highly valued for their nutritional profile, containing approximately 41% carbohydrate, 17% protein and 29% fibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"627\" data-end=\"1108\"\u003eA fast-growing and hardy species, Acacia victoriae often flowers within two years and typically lives for 10 to 15 years. Highly tolerant of drought, heat and fire, it is well suited to dryland and low-rainfall regions. The plant also serves as a useful fodder source during dry periods and contributes to soil improvement through nitrogen fixation. Seeds are generally easy to harvest, making it an attractive option for both home growers and larger-scale food production systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1143\"\u003eApproximately 30 seeds per packet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1301\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1174\"\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1174\" data-end=\"1177\"\u003eTropics: April to August\u003cbr data-start=\"1201\" data-end=\"1204\"\u003eSubtropics: Autumn to spring\u003cbr data-start=\"1232\" data-end=\"1235\"\u003eMild climates: Autumn to spring\u003cbr data-start=\"1266\" data-end=\"1269\"\u003eCold climates: Spring and autumn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1303\" data-end=\"1764\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1303\" data-end=\"1324\"\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1324\" data-end=\"1327\"\u003eSeed should be scarified prior to sowing by pouring hot (not boiling) water over the seed and allowing it to soak for 12 to 24 hours. Sow into a free-draining seed raising mix and lightly cover. Keep moist but not waterlogged during germination. Position in full sun and transplant once seedlings are established. Highly tolerant of drought and poor soils once established. Flowering may occur within 2 years under favourable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1766\" data-end=\"1886\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46649673416922,"sku":null,"price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/download_8780d300-946e-46fc-83da-83199b8514ff.jpg?v=1754017143","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/trees-acacia-victoriae-754","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
