This year, I'm actively gathering up a Good Supply of Acorns. (After having really Thought of, but never actually doing it, -over the last few.). They're of course an Outstanding Food Source! Once you remove their Bitterness, as I'll soon talk on.

I'm reasonably sure that I've heard of the existence of only one Poisonous type.

Unfortunately, I'm Foggy as to just what Acorn / Oak species that is. (If it's even True that there is one.).

I'm actively gathering them, for a Backup Food Supply source, -and I'd Really Like to Know! I'd like to get Defogged on this one!, -if I can! Towards such, -Do any of you know anything on this?

I am familiar from general Survival Books and the like, -on how to DeBitter and DeTanninize Acorns. Of the several Good, Long, Soakings in and Changes of Water. Including as the Native American Indians used to do, -with a Basketwork type setup, in a Creek. Not being near a Creek, however, -I'll just use various tubs or containers.

Eaten Unleached and Straight, -One immeadiately won't *Want* to eat an Acorn! Despite it's Nutritive Value and Edibility. That's of course due to it's such Extreme Tannin and Bitterness. So such Soaking Preparation is just a Must!

I've also read about the Two main subdivisions of the Oaks, -

A.) -the more Bitter (I Think), Sharp Edged Leaves, Cylindrical type Acorns,

And B.) - the more Rounded Edged Leaves, Rounder/ Squater/ Fatter, and Less Bitter (I Think again), of Acorns.

The Possible Poisonous one, -I think may be from the First of these groups.

I've also read somewhere, -to NOT Gather or Use those ones, -which have already sprung Roots off, into the ground.

And of the Importance of preventing Mold and such, -on any of your Prepared / Stored Acorns, -thereafter.

I'd Really Appreciate any Information / Links to Oaks and Acorns, -particularly of this Poisonous Kind, -as any of you may have! Thanx for any such here in Advance! [color:"black"] [/color] [email]ScottRezaLogan[/email]
