Edible Australian Acacias: Acacia colei
(Acacia colei, A. elachantha, A. torulosa, A. tumida)

Most Edible Acacia seed species are from northern semi-arid regions of Australia and range from medium-sized trees to large, multi-stemmed bushes.  Several Edible Acacia species have been successfully introduced into African semi-arid regions like Niger and Senegal.

Acacia colei is a drought resistant, nitrogen fixing, spreading shrub-like acacia with yellow flowers. This tree has edible and nutritious pods and seeds. It has excelled in acacia trials in Niger, showing the most potential for use as a new crop plant.
