From Tree to Table: gathering and processing acorns 

Buy his Book

Lol me too!!

Those are the people whom wont find it helpful anyway... because they want to open a packaged product and eat it right away.

Those are the people who have the attention span of a gnat. It takes time to truly teach and learn something!

They are the same ones to die in a grid down scenario.

Because people have zero attention span. It's a serious mental problem and it's prevalent throughout the globe because of the internet and social media. It's ridiculous.

Those people with no attention span would collect anything but healthy acorns. When living in ancient times only the clever ones had food and survived

This is good to know, thnx

I have eaten them in the past after two rinses and drying. I’ll try cooking them next.

Thanks

You should make a video!

That's not simple.

He is, and he is the author of our New England Flora! A very important figure in our region

What did they taste like? 😲

@@binkao2938 Kind of like buckwheat pancakes, but nuttier.

Patties?...

Do note just because you see a cactus doesn't mean it edible. My cactus are toxic, but 50 miles from me they are ok. I learned that the hard way. As another note on cactus. If you save cactus pear juice. It will make you cool in hot heater. I drank about 2 quarts of the juice and was shivering with goose bumps in 118 degrees. Lol. You can also dehydrate it, make it a powder and it keeps. Just use 1 heaping table spoon per gallon. This is a favorite summer time drink for me. Best I can describe is it kinda watermelon tasting. I've also mixed it with unsweeted kool aid packets. Have used with all but fruit punch. I don't like fruit punch. And yet another is to take the cactus pear juice and dehydrate it to 1/4 in height. Then cut it into 1 inch strips. If you know what fruit roll up were. That what you will be making. Stick in place of bag and it a taste snack. The powder I have kept for 6 months. Always run out by that time. The roll ups I have kept for over a year. Use both in moderation as they have the same effect as the juice. Oh before you ask. How long the juice last. IDK. Longest I've had is 3 days outside of pears. Think someday I will try to ferment it. Should make a nice wine. How to dehydrate for each. For powder I pour juice about 1 inch tall and let sit for days outside with screen over it. Once it breaks all up it need to be turned. About 2 weeks later it done just needs to be smashed to powder. For roll up I pour about 6 inches thick of juice. Let sit outside until it about 1/4 thick. Then package. Oh yeah, where I live I can dehydrate food easy by just sitting it outside. The wind and sun does all the work. Well except all the work of preparing it. I dehydrate most my foods. I even buy frozen vetables and dehydrate them. No need for a freezer. Meat just cook it and dehydrate it. Last for over a year. To rehydrate just soak in water for an hour. If you are cooking in water no need to dehydrate.

Very interesting thank you for sharing this important information listening from Bangs Texas

Don't apologise for the length of the video. They are wonderful, and thank you for making them. The old ways of survival is being lost.

It's almost completely unpalatable. That's why even the indians would not eat them. Deer that eat them also have a terrible flavor.

Capitalism

I would like to kindly point out that 'democracy' has never worked either. It didn't work in Roman times and it doesn't work now. It's completely corrupt and if you are honest you will admit it.

YES THIS MONEY IS DA PROBLEM POINT, BLANK, PERIOD!!! THIS EARTH PLANE IS DEFINITELY A GARDEN NATURE PROVIDES US WITH FOOD, SHELTER AND CLOTHING FOR FREE.....🤦🏿.....WE DONT TRULY BY NATURE NEED MONEY

Ask Google

So did this work for you? I have diabetes too and have always been interested in wild foods.

Leananshae no, not faulty, good question! Tannin liquid is used for healing, particularly burns. I believe it was for ages made into tea, cooled and applied with clean (boiling recommended) rags or sterile gauze. One must use caution to prevent including any bacteria that could cause infection, whether treating burns or other wounds.

I live in SE Missouri and have 8 acres of heavily wooded Oak trees. I have a blanket of acorns covering my prooerty. The pigs love it. Makes extremely tasty pork.

And black walnuts

Same right now in south Oklahoma.

Hello Catharina. Another kiwi here. How did harvesting acorns go for you?

No, I don't think the freezer will damage the nutrients. Heat will.

I'm not sure you can out compete the wildlife!

Awww... 🌳🌰🐿️
