• BROAD BEANS, as part of the legume family, are a source of protein along with vitamins A, B1 and B2. If buying fresh, look for firm, crisp pods that don’t feel like they have any air inside.
• WATTLESEED is most often wild harvested, the seeds coming from various species of acacia. A native hero, wattleseed is roasted, and has a spiced, coffee-like flavour that complements everything from grilled meat to shortbread biscuits.
• KANGAROO, famed for its status as both a healthy and highly sustainable red meat, is similar in taste to lean beef or venison. The ruby-toned meat is high in iron and protein and extremely lean, and should be cooked quickly to retain its tenderness.
• BROWN RICE has a firm texture and nutty flavour. The bran and germ layers are preserved, meaning it contains significantly higher levels of B vitamins and fibre than its paler counterpart.
