🌳 Additional Information:
Many Acacia species, including Acacia longifolia, have seeds that are highly nutritious and were traditionally used as a food source. However, some Acacia species contain compounds that can be harmful if consumed. It is essential to identify species correctly before use. During drought conditions, certain Acacia species may accumulate higher levels of hydrogen cyanide in their foliage, which can be toxic to herbivores.
