In the short and sweet video above, I explain and demonstrate the first part of the process of turning acorns into food using Stone Age tools in my urban apartment.
In Part 2 of my acorn series, I’ll explain what leaching is and how to do it. In part 3, I’ll share some easy recipes I tried with them.
Share this post with your friends and family and tell people how to get free food!
You are SUCH a good teacher!! Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2012 05:49:00 +0000 To: mlle6350@hotmail.com
Great to see you doing this, Becky.
I raked up a couple gallons of acorns just before the rains came this fall. For some reason they were already rotting in the shell. Now I know to check my acorns before I spent too much time gathering them.
Thanks for the info Becky! I was with a couple friends the other week and the acorns looked so scrumptious and I couldn’t resist, but man did I have raisin face haha. One of my friends went “if acorns could be eaten, someone would’ve already figured out how to”; can’t wait to share this with her! And looking forward to your next posts. Cheers.
Thanks! And cheers to you, too!
Awesome, thanks. I found the discovery of acorns really fascinating this year (our Autumn being 6 months back. Or forward as it happens). Posted here: http://foragersyear.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/holm-oak-acorns-quercus-ilex-and-a-crack-at-the-foragers-carb-conundrum/
Please tell me that you’ll give toilet cistern leaching a look-in – it was a revelation. Thanks again,
Oliver
You will not be disappointed!
