Until my blog post the other day. I’d never considered eating acorns, I had thought about it many years ago but I was told they would make you sick if you ate them when I was young.
They have a lot of tannin in them that needs to be removed before you consume them. But otherwise they are good to eat.
There are a few waya to remove the tannin that I have read about and I’ll share those here. I willl also include links as this it new to me and probably to you too. Turns out acorns used to be a staple in people’s diets going way back. Seems we have lost lessons learned in the past.
Acorns as is can be toxic to people as well as some live stock, and have a bitter taste. So don’t just eat them as is.
To be honest, I haven’t eaten any yet though everything I read say they are really good. They can be used in place of walnuts etc. Since my knowledge is limited, I’ll provide a link to hopefully point you in the right direction.
Best of luck and may your ventures be met with sucess.
