Amazing vid, did a great job on the editing and especially the folk music in the beginning. May you share the name of that song?

In an old video they showed how to get rid of the tannins by putting them in a fine mesh sack and just letting them rinse in a clean creek for some days which saves some work.

The indigenous people of Yosemite would alternate boiling and cold water over finely ground acorn flour. Hot water would leach out the tannins more quickly, but the wash in cool water would keep the starches from being washed away as well. Most people choose hot or cold, but many Californian tribes used a mix of both. The process took a few hours, but was effective, and wouldn’t take multiple days.

This was thrilling. Thank you!!!!!

Thank you so much for this video

This proceedure is "nuts".no pun intended! I leach acorns in a fraction of this time! Simply put acorn meat in blender w water...Drain off water when done..Do this several times &vtheyll be ready to go!

Very good! Thank you!

Great vid Jarmo, love from the Atlantic

Thanks for posting

Kiitos kiitos (from nighbour Sweden) I KNOW THERE WAS A WAY = BEAUTYFULL VIDEO & beatyfull trees also ;)

nicely explained thankyou

This is a great video! Very educational! I'm attempting my first batch of acorns - small handful this time around. There blogs with written instructions that skip entire steps or are unclear. Hopefully I can salvage what I have. I have an air fryer/dehydrator that I can use for drying. Fingers crossed!

What a beautiful video! I wonder whether you can use baking soda to take the brown seed coat off like you do with chickpeas.

Nice rock

I realise that this is not remotely the point, but I love your coffee mug!

I never knew acorns were eatable at all. They sure are labor intensive, though. I have never heard of acorn bread. Now I am curious to try some.

Please help, what temperature do you dry the acorns in when they are in the sauna? For how many hours? :)

Great video. How long do you dry out the cut up pieces? I assume your sauna is about 190F.

Please note, allowing acorns to cool during the hot leaching process (either by rinsing in cool water or letting cool before fully leached) will cause the tannins to become bound in the acorn and perhaps only using lye at that point can save the acorns (learned this by experience and then doing online research too late).

I read this but could never find an scientific explenation why...

How hot and for how long? When you roast the acorns for coffee, do you use some kind of oil? Do acorns contain caffeine?

For cold water, it helps to powder the acorns first. This can’t be done with hot water though, because they will stick together and not leach

This makes me grateful for modern day bakeries.

Acorn coffee sounds alot like herbal tea..blech.

☺️😉👍

Kiitos tästä kauniisti tehdystä videosta. Onko jokin syy siihen, miksi jauhat pähkinät vasta vedenkäsittelyn jälkeen? Onko teillä kokemusta siitä, että ensin jauhetaan ja vasta sitten poistetaan tanniini?

. . . Old Saying . . . "Stir With A Knife And You Stir Up Strife" . . .

Does Acorn have caffeine or something? Why were they used for coffee substitutes?

At what step can you stop and save the nuts? We have 5 gallon buckets and oxygen absorbers that we use to preserve wheat. Can something similar be used for the oak nuts? I was thinking after they have been leached and dried. Thank you for sharing!

Dry them in an oven _completely._ After that storing them in sealed containers with oxygen absorbers should be no problem. But they need to be completely dry as an assurance against mold. If you're not certain you can do that, freezing them as some people feeeze flour or various nuts/grains is an option.

Do floating ones still germinate into live tree

Possibly..life is tough. The seed data is at the top , the body is starch...move fast ,warm soil , moist , moist moist ! Move fast maybe 50% viability

What did you add in after the acorns....the brown powder?

That was coffee grounds. But it was specified later that pure acorn brew was also just as delicious. It's just a personal preference. (Obviously, as might have been the case for the confederates in the example given, if you don't HAVE coffee grounds, you can skip this step.)

Plastic spoon?

Squirrels actually do mind tannins. That’s why squirrels leach acorns.

No they don't lol

What a pain in the- I mean, what an long process!

In the drying step , right after the water process , would it not be better to use a dehydrator on them than a stove or open air ? Just a thought , but it seems like you are used to the low tech route .

Mielenkiintoinen video, kiitos! Olin jotenkin käsittänyt, että liotusprosessi olisi kauhean monimutkainen, mutta näyttäisi siltä, että aika tekee työn, eikä tarvitse kun vaihtaa vesi tarpeeksi usein? Pitää ehdottomasti kokeilla joskus!

Moi! Prosessi on tosiaan hyvin yksinkertainen. Kylmävesikäsittelyssä aika hoitaa homman. Kolme veden vaihtoa vuorokaudessa on aivan riittävä. Kun vesi ei enää värjäydy kovin tummaksi on aika tehdä makutesti!

@@hungrycatwilderness Innostuin myös testaamaan terhojen kylmävesiliottelua. Onkos mun pihan tammi jotenkin harvinaisen tanniininen, vai miksi viiden päivän liotuksenkin jälkeen vähääkään isommat palaset ovat vielä todella kitkeriä? Toki kieli ei enää mene hieman turtaksi, niinkuin toisena päivänä testattuani, kun pureskelin n. puolen terhon verran ja pyörittelin suussani. Lähinnä pelottaa, että terhonpalaset alkavat jossain vaiheessa pilaantua, ennenkuin saan niistä mitään syömäkelpoista aikaiseksi kylmäliotuksella 😅
