RE: Acorns From Field To Table, Part 3: Cooking With Acorn Flour!
This is very interesting! I've never had anything with acorns. I wonder if we have any acorns in our woods... 🤔. Following!

Aside from eating them during recess when I was seven (we were weird kids), I'd never eaten them before this year either. Totally worth trying! If you live anywhere in the continental US, I bet you have oak trees close-ish.
As a kid, I didn't think they were edible. We do have oak trees, but I haven't seen acorns on them.
Most oak trees have on and off years. You'll get tons from a tree one year, and then it will go on "vacation" and make a rather poor showing the next. I bet if you watch those trees, you'll find acorns under them eventually! You don't actually harvest them from the branches--its all gathered from what they drop to the ground.
Oh! Ok. I'll have to keep a lookout for them.
