Research from RMIT University has characterised the physicochemical properties of Old Man Saltbush (Atriplex nummularia) powder, demonstrating protein quality comparable to soy and pea protein, more than double the protein content of wheat flour, and efficacy as a natural salt substitute — positioning it as a nutrient-dense functional ingredient for reformulated staple foods.
