Are beechnuts edible...and if yes...how to eat them? raw? boiled? Are their any precautions to be considered?
I'll be eating some this fall. I'll let you know.
beechnuts are highly valued as a survival food because of a high oil content and really great taste, i have also heard of ppl roasting the kernel then boiling and grinding the nut as a coffee subsitute, now that being said i have not done this myself so practise and let me know.
Thanx guys...but how do I know when they are ripe? and what happens if one eats them before they ripen?
Its ok to eat them a little green. In fact you are often in a race with the squirrels and other animals to see who gets to harvest them first. The creature who is willing to eat them a little greener is the winner.
