Did you know? Wattle seeds are harvested from Acacia species, renowned for their ability to thrive in arid and semi-arid regions. These resilient plants require minimal water, making them an environmentally friendly crop well-suited to sustainable agriculture.
Wild-harvesting methods help minimise environmental impact by preserving natural ecosystems and encouraging responsible resource use. As a native species, wattle seeds are naturally abundant and self-regenerating, contributing significantly to Australia’s biodiversity. This makes them a valuable resource, both economically and environmentally, in supporting native ecosystems.
Suggested Storage: Store at temperatures below 30°C, in tightly closed containers away from direct sunlight to preserve its potency and aroma.

Supplier Information: Our supplier employs regenerative practices to revitalise plantations that have lacked maintenance for up to 15 years. This includes selective harvesting to ensure younger, healthier trees receive adequate sunlight and space to grow. Investments in undergrowth management help control invasive weeds, protecting native flora and preserving biodiversity. These efforts aim to enhance both harvest quality and ecological balance, ensuring the sustainability of the plantations and contributing to broader environmental conservation initiatives.
