Fall is knocking at our doors and this season comes with chilly weather, fallen leaves and lots of acorns. If you have an oak tree in your garden your yard is probably full of acorns that you use for autumn crafts projects. Well, you can also cook and eat them and even make coffee out of these. Acorns contain high amounts of nutrients and also Vitamins B12, B6 and they can be perfect sources of fiber, so they are also a perfect survival food. But in order to know how to consume acorns, you need to learn more about the different types that you can find. For examples, green acorns can’t be consumed and raw acorns can also be toxic for humans.

Acorn Burgers
Ingredients:
1 cup minced acorn (cooked and spiced)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup self rising cornmeal
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
Canola oil for pan frying
the processing information in this article is essentially incorrect and hugely inefficient. Boiling acorn is a waste of energy. They will also not leach adequately in the shell in a stream for only 2 days.
Need to highlight it more. Most ACORNS are TOXIC. Make sure you know what you are doing to remove the toxins.
Also the claim about vitamin B12 is wrong unless there are bugs in them. B12 is not found in plant foods
I was curious about the B12 claim for the same reason Ian mentions. I didn’t know it was in plants.
you need to research that because you are absolutely incorrect. There is b12 in many plant based nuts and even maple syrup. Almonds, pumpkin seeds all kinds of things.
When I was a kid in California’s Central Valley, there was a huge Mission Oak in our yard. I would collect acorns and shell them. I would leave the shelled and chopped acorns in the sun for a while . They tasted okay after that.
