WHAT DOES SEEDCAKE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

seedcake

Bush bread

Bush bread, or seedcakes, refers to the bread made by Australian Aborigines for many thousands of years made by crushing seeds into a dough after which it is baked. The bread was high in protein and carbohydrate, and helped form part of a balanced traditional diet. With the arrival of Europeans and pre-milled white flour, this bread-making process all but disappeared. The tradition of cooking bread in hot coals continues today. Bread-making was a woman's task. It was generally carried out by several women at once, due to its labour-intensive nature. It involved collecting seasonal grains, legumes, roots or nuts, and preparing these into flour and then dough, or directly into a dough.
