About 30 years ago, I attended a survival food course in Malibu State Park. We went just beyond the tree line from a parking lot. The instructor asked us to collect just one specimen of what we thought was edible. After a while, we see one of the students eating an item (which I knew to be deer droppings). Calmly, the instructor asked the guy what he was eating. The calm reply was acorns! We told him what it was.

I have a row of Persimmon trees along the main driveway. After Deer eat the Persimmons they sometimes drop their Scat nearby with Persimmon seeds in it. I have a lidded jar of them in my refrigerator. I want to try to make a row of Persimmon trees in a certain area of the far end of my yard. I have a few of them that are about 6 years old that came up on their own in an area that I don't want them in, so I have a few of them that I am giving away free. All someone has to do is dig them up and haul them away. God bless America.

In Spain and Portugal we have a kind of oaks whose acorns often have no or little tannic acids. You can just roast them as you would do with a chestnut and they are friggin delicious! (far better than chestnuts if you ask me). Also, the process to make acorns edible seems very similar to what we traditionally do to make olives edible (break them with a rock and rinse them for days to remove the bitterness), instead of dumping it in a river, you can also place them in a bottle and change the water every day for one or two weeks (sometimes more).

The river in a way anyway reduces labor, and all depending on the situation would work well. My first thought was to dam a narrow part of the creek, a rough dam would be fine, just enough to get the flow a lot faster in one area, and the rest of my point is obvious.

Our library has a book about how some tribes process acorns. The process can vary slightly from tribe to tribe. The process I read about didn't crush the acorns, and tied the bag of them in running creek water for 2 or 3 days, as they were processing acorns from the Live Oak trees. Then they would roast them. The text said that each person would put a fist full of these in a pocket pouch and it would sustain them as they traveled from their camp to a neighboring camp, about a days walk. Love the video, thanks for sharing!

To solve your mosquito problem this might be of help. If you take rosemary leaves and rub them on your body. The mosquitos will not bite you, they do not like the smell of rosemary.

I live in the Sierra foothills, and there are oaks for days around here. The one just outside the backdoor alone drops nearly a wheelbarrow load every year. In fact further out back, there is a giant oak tree with a large couple of boulders underneath it and the top boulder has a borehole in it, likely from native americans grinding acorns right there from that tree. My kids like to climb up onto those rocks and then into the tree and climb around in that tree. Not only that but just, maybe 10 feet from the trunk of that tree is a small seasonal stream where the tannins could be leached. My dad tried making bread from the acorns here about 10-15 years ago, and I forget how many times he said he attempted to leach all the tannins, but it was never enough and the bread ended up very bitter.

The Cherokee also harvested, processed, and ate acorns, usually as a bread baked on hot stones. I still do this by soaking, drying, and grinding the acorn nut. It is good in soup, too. The soaked and dried nuts are an edible subsistence food. The worms in them are a good source of extra fat, like Australian Witchetty Grubs. Nearly all indigeneous peoples have found grubs that are edible and tasty throughout the world, that provide fat and protein.

Thanks brother. Oddly enough I was raised in the hills of WV and have eaten nuts from various trees since I was a kid. But I've never heard of eating Acorns. I always thought that only Deer and Squirrels ate them, assuming they must not be good for you. Thanks for the eye opener pal.

Indigenous Americans, American settlers and ancient Europeans ate them all the time. They are each different for each type of oak because thats the specific seed for that specific type of oak. Im curious if you can use the acorn for food stuffs and also use the tannin for tanning things? That would be really efficient.

Before I watch the video: this was a staple in the food of Western/North-Western Europe e.g. with the Celts and Germanic tribes. Acorns got harvested and at some processed into flower that was used to bake bread. Literally translated from my language, that bread was called oakbread. As most of (Western) Europe was covered in woods (still in Roman times) and there was a very high oak fraction, this must have been a very important food source and one that was easily stored for later processing during winter. This also is reflected in the name we give to the squirrel that I (not my etymological dictionary) would translate as "horny for oak" (the acorns) and the English word "acorn" sounds almost identical to my language's word for squirrel (but is spelled completely differently). Darned tree rats (rodents) that steal acorns, birds eggs that we want and might spread Yersinia pestis (the bacterium that causes us to get the plague) or rabies, even.

@@maverickman6486 so the implied hate of these animals may actually have a health aspect. In my youth, 60 years ago, I knew several people hating cats. They felt that people who loved cats might be witches - they didn't believe in witches but such people must have had mental issues. If we now look at the toxoplasmosis cycle between cat and mouse, then we see that a mouse infected with Toxoplasma gondii from that moment either loses its fear of cats, or starts to think cats are cuddly cute. The result being that the mouse seeks a cat's company. The cat eats that mouse and its faeces now become carrier of spores that will infect the next victims. Are all human cat lovers under Toxoplasma gondii influence? Getting infected just before or during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, stillborn child, or a child with developmental deviations potentially later in life like vision loss or mental disability and seizures. We can safely assume that our ancestors had figured out a thing or two about nature and that some people's panic attacks at the sight of rodents actually comes from - maybe being genetically programmed - their urge to avoid the risk associated with this Toxoplasma gondii cycle. Talk about acorns as staple of diet - compare the health impact of gliadin (the actual culprit protein in the gluten container protein) of grains, to that of quercetin in acorns.

We have burr oaks that when they drop acorns, they tend to be HUGE. We also have chickens we used to let free range. They figured out quickly that when I sat down to shell acorns I'd toss out the weevils, they would go crazy for them! Cold soaking definitely makes the best flour although it takes longer as you mentioned. Also best to peel away any of the skin stuck to the meat, as best you can. I still can't imagine the calories expended are less than the calories you get from eating, it's sooooo labor intensive! Makes great bread when mixed with regular wheat flour.

Now, I’ve heard that acorns from the White Oak are best, and to avoid using Red Oak acorns because they are two year acorns, and have much more tannins. The way you tell the difference between White Oak and Red Oak, the leaves of the White Oak are rounded on the tips, and on the Red Oak leaves, they come to a point.

Yes, acorn trees or oak trees, and there are many varieties, grow in many places around the world including on the West Coast. All acorns are edible, but they have varying degrees of tannin in them which must be boiled or leached out to make them less bitter and therefore more palatable to consume.
