Very accurate. The other day my partner walks in.
her - What are you doing?
me - reading about how to prepare acorns for cooking
her - huh, ok *walks away *
I think it went something like : See tree > acorns! > can you eat acorns? > look up acorns > spend 30 minutes reading about preparing and cooking acorns > Forget original thing I was going to do
The answer is yes they can be eaten but you have to soak them to remove the tannins. Then grind into a flour. Use for various recipes.
thank you for sharing your research findings! the only thing left is personal review! how are they?
My friend has done this, and says “not remotely worth the effort, unless you want survival skills”.
now I know!
thank you and your friend for sharing the feedback!
Apparently they taste much better if you let pigs eat them first and then eat the pigs instead.
I just know you can eat them because my grandparent showed me them done on the fireplace instead of just doing the normal chestnuts. I just didn't like that specific taste. And it's used to feed sheep and stuff lime that too.
My horse learned from other horses in the pasture that he could eat acorns. The horses loved them apparently
Lime stuffed mutton fed on acorn meal, mmm
Acorn and nutmeg cookies fucking slap.
nice, gonna have to try that
Wish I could remember their name but there is an adorable black woman somewhere who makes TikTok videos about foraging and forgotten staples that we humans used to use from the land we live on. Very solar punk vibe. She did an entire video on acorns.
Is it BlackForager? The "one of these is poison, and one is a snack" lady?
YES!
Ohhh that reminds me of eating pine cones in honey. I still have it somewhere, never finished the entire bottle. But it was good.
