COMMENTS:
Yes, Simmered in water to remove the tannic acid, then roasted or sugar glazed to improve the flavor. Check for holes in the shell that would indicate a worm has eaten the nutmeat. The ones that fall from the tree with the caps still on usually are infested with worms or green.

breaD from acorn flour figures prominently into Native cooking. It's pretty good.

lol at pro squirrel!

I just like wild foods, Cherri, And acorns can be good if prepared properly.

Acorn flatcakes and bread are good, As flagrantviolator has noted.
