Preparing Acorns
This Eattheweeds video gives a lot of important information about oaks, acorns and preparing acorns for eating:
Topics Green Dean covers:
- Choosing a tree (different oaks have different tannin levels)
- Selecting for tannin levels using the look of the acorns
- How often oaks fruit and how to identify their fruiting cycles
- When to harvest acorns and what acorns ready to harvest look like
- The different methods of leaching tannins (bitter compounds that can otherwise make an acorn inedible) and how each method affects what you can do with the resulting acorn mush/flour
