The korean market is stocked with acorn products, acorn flower, acorn noodles, and acorn bread making supplies, and so on. Acorn is commonly used in Korea, and Japan to this day,and it's common for people to make acorn bread or pancakes at home, even from the trees they gather.
Acorn was part of the main diet of European tribes, from the German tribes, Slavic, Romani, Bulgarian, and the Viking. In Scottland and all throughout the U.K. people still use acorn in their diet. Not in America.
different oak trees are different acorn producers here int the east we get acorns every year but there not so big and there a different kind of oak tree
If you haven't read Tending the Wild by M. Kat Anderson or Oak, Frame of Civilization by William Bryant Logan you HAVE to read them. Civilizations supported by acorns are known as Balanocultures and are arguably the first civilizations to pop up on Earth. Nerd out my brother!!!
I wholly agree with you Brother. The Monster-Santo corporation with it's GM Hybrid heinous crops of death, and the Federal Reserve New World Order Over-Lords couldn't enslave us Serfs if we could live off the land. Thank you for waking us up!
This kind of thinking, is the future, if we have one. There is fruit and nut trees that grow in any area. May we live to see a day, 400 hundred year old fruit and nut trees, are considered our childrens inheritence, rather than a stack of paper
Preach on brotha. Sometimes I look over cities, and just imagine what it was like when it was all natural. The biodiversity, the flora. Not that I'm a survivalist, but if there's ever a major agricultural disaster in the U.S. we'd be done. We have killed off all of the biodiversity.
The reason why people will not pick free acorns and eat them is because they are mind controlled. The New World Order will never let its slaves go free. That is why a nutritionless substance as bread is the most popular "food" around the world. People's taste buds have been manipulated for millenia and millenia ago by whoever controlls society to have them do what he/she wants. That is why people have lawns and not vegetable gardens or fruit trees in their front and backyards.
Feral Kevin - I was about to post that you might really enjoy the writing of M. Kat Anderson - including her epic book that just came out called Tending the Wild. She's made it a big part of her life's work to talk to traditional people in California on how they've used acorns and much else. Now I see on your blog that this book has been part of your Masters Thesis and you saw her at Toby's in August. Keep up the good work!
I always find maggots inside acorns in my neck of the woods. I'm probably picking them up too late in the year. We have lots of white oak. When I do find them, after I've fought off the p.o-ed squirrels (joke); they're kind of bitter, I rinse them through a couple changes of water. Does that deteriorate their nutritional value? Where can I find nutritional information on acorns? They don't exactly come with a food label. (another awful joke)
I don't think they're maggots (larva of flies), but the larva of other things, perhaps of beetles or other flying insects. You can try the wiki for more info by searching "acorn" in wikipedia (can't post links in comments)
You can also try the Plants for a Future site, just google "plants for a future acorn". I believe Quercus is the oak genus, so if you click on Quercus in there you should get a list of the different edible acorns.
a few months ago in Davis California I was really into eating live foods...foraging around the city... and i saw small acorns on the ground and eat them raw. great video... "humans worked 2-4 hours a day" so true... seems we are living in "hell" now that we are separated from god, or gaia

Yeah great. Natives slept on feather pillows and had no cares in the world.
Dendrology is cool too. But that's not your point.
Are you going to actually show us how to cook the damn things, or is this more of a preaching exercise?

Some developers just cut down the venerable oak tree that supplied my acorns. It had a treehouse too, which makes it doubly sad.

i'm quite jealous of how incredibly large these acorns are! the ones in my bioregion are much smaller.
