    I was under the impression that tannin isn't bad for you. Am I wrong, or does it just give the acorns a bad taste?

    When done the tannin will be leached out of the acorns making them edible.

    By the way, the tannin water can be used to tan critter hides.

    Don't think he could stay quiet that long, lol.
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    There's tannin in tea, I suppose it could be a matter of how much

    so let me just make sure i have this figured out,
    because im going to try this, this year with the coast live oak that are all around the area.

    - collect acorns
    - remove caps
    - dry acorns (for storage)

    and then
    when your ready to eat

    - shell acorns
    - soak/boil meat?


    or
    are you supposed to soak/boil the whole acorn?

    im confused about that
    and also,
    if your gonna eat them right away, do you even need to dry them?

    and also, i tried plucking a few today out of the tree and some came out of the shell, but had this really sticky sap-like stuff on the top
    what is that?

    btw, im not sure why this thread was in the "making stuff" section...

    maybe it should be moved to the foods section?
