RE: Backyard edibles Acorns

in #nature7 years ago (edited)

I boiled them (to get the tannin out) and roasted them with salt. I never tried to dry them out and pound them into flour, which would have been even more work. The trick is to find acorns that don't have a lot of tannin. I boiled the shit out of those acorns but no matter how much I boiled them there was still tannin.

Cool I will probably try as an experiment when mine get ripe. What kind of acorns did you use? I believe mine are from a white oak. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Identifying different oak species is beyond my pay grade. All I know is that we have a lot of huge oaks around here.
