That's so interesting and I totally love the name Wattleseed. I'll have to try some at some point - perhaps when it is in every coffee shop, but hopefully sooner!

Cherikoff Wattleseed is also really good made into an extract (just boil some with 3 times the volume of water - a jar in the microwave is perfect for this) and folded through semi-soft ice cream or added to your favorite waffle recipe.

The rule of thumb for the best quality Wattleseed (which is the only one I promote) is the richly roasted and artfully milled seeds should turn whatever you add it to, a pale brown color.

You should also know that Wattleseed reduces the glycaemic index of the food it's used in so it makes it better for you. Just watch out with those high cal foods.

Wow, never hear of that ingredient before! I almost just skimmed over this in my feed but then my eye landed on hazelnut and I backed up. I'm embarrassed to admit I'm actually salivating over this recipe!

I'll admit the name "wattleseed" grabbed my attention as well. I had images from a past television show where a certain quirky male lawyer was obsessed with the neck wattle on older women.

Thanks for the wonderful description of the origins and benefits of wattleseed. Definitely interesting stuff. I wonder when it will be more widely available.

Jess - Yes, it is.

Vic - Wow, thanks so muc...

Jess - Yes, it is.

Vic - Wow, thanks so much for visiting and for the info! Really appreciate it and am honored. =)

Catherine - A little goes a long way. Next time I see ya', I'll give ya a some.

I'm so jealous that I didn't get to try the cupcakes. And then Vic Cherikoff himself commented on your blog. I was looking at his site with all the different Australian spices and am intrigued. Wish I could fork out the $. I also am bad in that I tend to buy things and then never get around to trying them. I've got a bunch of rub varities still unopened. Sigh.

Wattleseed also comes in a variety of forms, including the superior grounds (from the company which developed the product as a food flavouring); a liquid extract for those fine desserts and as a beverage flavor; and just launched in a paste form.

I recently received a waffle iron as a gift from my wife and we can certainly and highly recommend Wattleseed waffles with some whipped cream and maple syrup.

Wow, those looks good! I've never heard of wattleseed, but I'd love to try some!! Does anyone know if it is gluten free, by any chance?

Hi there!
Do you have a price range for wattleseed? My boyfriend loves to experiment with new exotic flavors (we recently purchased truffle oil and boy! is it tasty!!).
Here in Montreal (Canada), saffron is about 8-9$ for a matchbox size box, and vanilla is between 3 and 8$, depending where it comes from, and the size and number of pods.
Thanks a lot!
