Guest guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Are acorns - or acorn flour - legal? I'm watching the deer eat the acorns and wondering. Apparently they used to play a large part in the diet of Native Americans. Turns out they have to be leached of a bitter tannin taste by boiling them, but after that, they are easy to work with as a meal or flour. And they can be pickled, too. http://www.motherearthnews.com/Real-Food/1970-05-01/Food-Without-Farming.aspx?pa\ ge=2 Snort. And that's today's survivalist fantasy question!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 My significant other made acorn pancakes and flour for Boy Scouts when young--he said they tasted like s*it! He is a fisher, hunter, and likes to live off the land, as well as a good cook. So I won't be trying acorns anytime soon!! Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
