Acorns: Autumn's Bounty Price's Processing Steps

摘要

In my readings about processing acorns, the only thing everyone agrees on is that there are many different ways to process acorns, all having good results! I have had so much fun reading other people's accounts of processing acorns and learning abouttheir methods. The following steps relate how my husband and I have successfully processed our acorns.The first step is to pick up acorns. The type of acorn is your choice, but do not mix types of acorns: white oaks only in one batch . . . red oaks only in another batch. You can process any kind of acorn, but each type has a different amount of tannic acid in it and will take a different amount of soak time. I've read that white oaks in different areas have different amounts of bitterness in them, so I suggest you don't mix nuts from different areas. I've picked up acorns in a 20-acre area and mixed them with no problems.
