Seedcake is a traditional bread prepared by Aboriginal Australians through a process of grinding seeds into dough and baking the mixture. Rich in protein and carbohydrates, seedcake has long served as a nutritional staple within Indigenous Australian diets and cultural practices. While the term "seedcake" and the related name "bush bread" both refer to this food, it is distinct from damper, which typically denotes bread prepared by non-Indigenous communities using different methods and ingredients.
