  • Very informative... and Congratulations on Video 50!

  • @gogogardener Thanks... I've done 83 more since then.

  • The only thing I don't see you address is this: How do you know when the acorn is properly leached? Does the water change colour?

  • @DebShaw An oversight perhaps. That and more are coved in articles on my website. Leaching time varies but generally until the water does not turn color AND the nuts tastes sweet (wait several minutes after to give the bitterness time to develop if it will.)

  • 3:15

    Mine, nya?? =^..^=

  • @WildBuck007 That was my surpervisor and quality control expert, Oliver Whitecat... Ollie...

  • you didn't itemize! (kidding)

    semi recent subscriber here, love your channel. Thanks for sharing with us.

  • Thanks for this video! I didn't know that you can't use the green ones.

  • LOL, I was tabbing between videos of this and foodwishes and this particular video plays the same intro song. I almost went mad trying to cycle through everything to find which foodwishes video was playing without me.

  • You are such a delight to watch Deane. Thank you for the video. Very very informative. I did not know about the boiling vs cold processing. Great info there. And the size of the cap in relation to the size of the nut. Wonderful! I have recently moved to Oklahoma and know nothing of the edibles here (Oh and when I was in Ohio I did not eat the things that looked like milkweed), I think you saved me with that advice LOL thanks bud. Take care and any info on Oklahoma wild edibles would be great
