I collect acorns (American varieties) every fall, soak in hot water as Vanessa describes, then roast them with some salt or soy sauce. I don't know exactly why, but eating wild foods like this make me feel better. Possibly this is because they contain phytonutrients that our bodies crave but are lacking from clean, sterile, processed foods.
Wild edibles videos would go very well with bushcraft. Whenever this topic is discussed, I think about how most people, if lost in the wilderness, would starve while surrounded by food.
I found this video very interesting, Vanessa. I've known for some time that acorns were edible, but according to the US Army Field Survival Manual, they must be boiled at least six times, and must be transferred from one pot of boiling water into another each time. I've always thought that seems a bit impractical for use in a survival situation. Thanks for dispelling that notion and for demonstrating how acorns have been used throughout the ages.
You can place them in a seive in running water like a stream, come back a day later and the tannins will be leached out. Of course you could eat a small amount directly for survival, but it is true for nourishment you must dispose of the chemical your body can not take. Probably worst would be to crush into flour and then bake unleached acorn, this way you would get max tannins - supposedly early US settlers did this. Of course they did not bother to ask the proper way from the people who knew.
Les Stroud (Survivor Man) years ago demonstrated a method of putting the acorn meats in a basket in a running stream for several days, which he said gradually washes out the tannic acid. I've never tried this. Billy Berger (archer/survivalist) demonstrated grinding the raw meats before soaking in hot water, which speeds up the process.
Here in the US we learned from our native counterparts to leach the tannins from the acorns in running stream water, the roast them over the fire and grind them for flour. Mixed with wheat flour or corn meal they can stretch the edible grains farther.
once in powder form you can mix or substitute with flour. pan breads can be made with acorn flour. The key is to leech the tannins out of the nuts first, and you can use those tannins for other purposes.
During deer season we look for the trees that are dropping acorn’s, you can find deer there during drought years they love the acorns and fill up on them when there is not a lot of other things for them to forage for. Also pigs squirrels and other animal love them so if your trying to survive it’s a good spot to hunt and trap. Good video.
The little hole means a worm…I’d sit down to shell acorns and our chickens would come running because if I found worm they knew they’d get a treat! Lots of times the nut would still be mostly good, just cut the bad parts away. Love your kitchen!
This is my first time hearing that acorns are edible. I'd always heard they had too much tannic acid to eat. So, I just learned something new. Thanks Vanessa!
Hey Vanessa 👋. I remember that we made acorn bread in school . The teacher should us what to do and I can still remember. I also remember that it tasted terrible. It would have to be survival situation for me to eat that again. Thanks for bringing back the great memories Vanessa. Your stove looks great 👍. Don't forget wooded pallets are good for firewood.
The oaks are loaded this year in Virginia. My brother and I were walking in the woods today and wondered if they were edible. Thank Vanessa for the information.
Thank you for another informative video, Vanessa. My acorns are about to be tiny missiles as I vacuum oak leaves from my yard this fall. I can't think of anything more vital than wild edible knowledge for survivalists. All the gear and shelter building skills must feel secondary to an empty stomach of a long term situation. Since many edibles are seasonal, I'd like to see an instructional of edibles by seasons. Since the time of year you are in a survival situation may not be predictable, the wild edibles available could be to the well informed.
Very a fantastic and info video Vanessa, As there in Germany we also, here on the East Coast of Canada have many oak trees, when I was a kid we used to gather them up to have the nuts at Christmas. Brings back cool memories.
Vanessa ... To make it easier to peel the acorns, it is better to roast them a little. As for iron, it can help you gain weight, if you grind it well, add honey and a little olive oil to it, then put it in a glass box and eat it daily, and it will be good for you in particular.
I have a lot of hickory trees on my land. I have never processed the nuts, but I hear they are very good to eat as well. Thanks again for a very informative video.
Cool video! I'm going to try this today. I heard that Native Americans used to use acorns, and leave them in woven bags in the river to wash out the tanins.
My puppy, wish i could show you a picture of him, forages. I've never seen behavior in the breed. He nibbles fresh leaves and digs in the ground. I suspected acorns, the oak nut, but saw several acorns where he dug. So i ruled them out. Then it turned out he was rooting for the buried ones. Now i understand why. I'd LOVE to hear more about the medical prep and use of the bark. And i cannot end this comment without complimenting your dress. I would half bet you sewed it yourself. Lovely as always Aika (spelling?) is really turning out to be something special Thanks for good info. I knew they were edible, and have personally spit for 10 minutes because of the tannins. Gulf Coast USA ~rad~
Vanessa, this was a very interesting video. I grew up around oak trees as a youngster on Long Island. Neve knew one could eat them. Making bread, coffer or eating them roasted is good to know. I was wondering if Aika was going to poke her head in the basket and eat one while you were dropping them in the basket. She is so well behaved. I really enjoyed this video. Very informative. I 🙂
That’s a really great video. I tried to roast acorns once, but I left the hull on…no wonder it tasted so bitter. :). These are great tips, and I love coffee. Thank you!
Vanessa, always beautiful, this was a very important video of yours. There are many people who do not know that acorns are edible, and for completeness, we should say that horse chestnuts or "conkers" are poisonous if cooked or not! The trick is to remove the bitter tannins. I have seen some woodsmen leave ground acorns in a muslin bag or women's' tights in a fast flowing stream to leach out the tannins. You have used war/hot water in a pan to produce the same effect. Native Indians in N. America would use acorns to make acorn bread. They mixed (tannin removed) acorn flour with red clay to make unleavened (flat) bread. I cannot remember if they added some corn flour as well. But, I agree 100% with you Vanessa, that acorns will keep you alive if there is nothing else around. I suppose, you could tailor your own recipes. If you had some wheat flour in a waterproof plastic bag, you could mix this with wheat flour for better results. Why not have some yeast on you as well? I forgot to say, people with nut allergies should avoid acorn bread to prevent anaphylactic (allergic) shock and possibly death. Now you have the bread, if you had some sugar, how about Apfel Strudel? Let's move it forwards. A bottle of nice white Spatlese Wein and a bottle of Bavarian beer. And the most important thing? Nice company ????????? Don't forget a tin of dog food too and can opener! xxx
we need that kind of tree here in the Philippines, our forest were vanishing because of illegal logging and the government and people didn't care about them or they have no initiative to plant a new one....i wish i can have that acorn , the seeds of the that old oak tree....take care vannesa and God bless you..
Many, many oak tress here in New England. I have seen deer eat them but never thought that they were really good for people consumption. I tried a few years ago, but all were terribly bitter. I think colonial Americans did boil these up and make a "coffee" also during hard times. Nice kitchen work ! 😀😀
Great show I always watch.. I would love to see your guitar collection in detail and story's behind them. If you find the time. Ok 👍 thanks again great show.
Been watching your bushcraft videos for a while. I enjoy them. Inspirational to be as i have health issues and your videos get me happy to be in (stay in ) the wilds of nature. Thank you. 🤗🤗
Acorns? I was hoping it was going to be schnitzel and tater salad. I'm wondering if the "cowboy coffee" method of brewing would work. It's boil the grounds until the desired strength is reached, remove pot from heat and dribble a small ammount of COLD water into the pot. For some reason,the cold water makes the grounds sink to the bottom for a nice, non-gritty cup of goodness.
I tried eating a small piece of one yesterday. I put the rest of it in my bag for later but it went all brown and bad really quickly. So I think it's best to use them as soon as you open them.I plan on getting some more soon and tying to blanch them.
You have to shell them and toss the nut meat into water. Once you get all the nut meats together you have to leach leach leach leach leach….you get the idea. Eventually makes great flour!
I do boil acorns and make a powder from them easily from which I can make bread, crackers, pancakes and coockies. Also I'm experimenting with making ethanol from acorns by letting them sprout and then let enzymes transform the starches into fermentable suckers.
Very informative video, thank you. I hope I am not being forward with my comment; your hair looked amazing in this video and you look so healthy these days!
Your kitchen is quite dark. I always thought a light colour reflects light and makes it easier to see what ever you are doing. Dark colours in rooms where it doesn't matter has much and if you want to display paintings and pictures.
I have always been told never to eat Acorns..... Know I know you can..... The outer case is called the "Shell"... It is the same for all nuts... But your English is much better than my German..... Stay safe and Happy Vanessa... :-))) xxxx
yeah Vanessa... my grandfather used to make coffee from acorns ...he had a specific roast and grind process im not going to post about it.. its a family secret ...Ive tried it when i was a kid ..pretty awesome coffee ..cheers
Here is an idea for you, a nut knife, half nutcracker half knife, where one could place the nut in place and squeeze the handles cutting the nut in half without a chance of the knife slipping and cutting something else. Take this idea and run with-it, it would also be safe to run with it.
Here in the US native Americans have been eating acorns for 4,000 years according to Google they would make bread and something like porridge but I think they roasted them and made flour grinding them with a mortar and pestle it is quite common knowledge where I am from there are 4 or 5 different tribes in Humboldt county and Humboldt is just one of 58 county's in California
Hello sweet heart I don't listen to dictaters being a solo dad I'm so happy being able to look after my kids they aren't kids they are teenager make me feel good 🌈😃💯
Cool. I've never made acorn coffee but I've made a lot of chicory coffee (dandelion should taste the same) and found it most pleasant mixed 50/50 with regular coffee.
How much tannic acid is in Acorns varies from place to place and even tree to tree. Those interested should do some research on their particular area. In southern California in the USA if you ate a hand full of good Acorns as you It is a near guarantee you will get a belly ache and even through up. You need neither in a survival situation. Research, I also read on the east coast of the US 1 out of 10 oak trees will have nuts that are not bitter or as bitter. That info is like from 1980 so it was a long time ago. A survival video should show how to process the food in a survival situation. Here in California the Native Americans would find some sandy soil. Get the Acorns out of the shell, smash them up, find an area with coarse sand and make a bowl in the sand. They would repeatably pour boiling water over them letting the water pass through into the sand till they liked the taste. After that they most frequently made a mush (like oatmeal) out of it with whatever else they wanted to mix with it.
Excellent idea, Vanessa! I have a very large and old oak tree in my backyard. The acorns that fall are green. Do they turn to brown later, or do you have to use the brown only?
i was wondering if, after making coffee, the hot water has also released more of the tannin, maybe the acorn powder would be good to eat after making coffee?
Its a lot to do to get hot drink but if you have the taste of it why not , for survival I'm not so sure the taste of the acorn is something nasty . ❤️Vanessa..
The native americans used them all the time. They would put them in a container and sink it in the river, come back in a month and take them out and grind them up and put them in their stews and also make into patty's and cook in fire as bread.
I collect acorns (American varieties) every fall, soak in hot water as Vanessa describes, then roast them with some salt or soy sauce. I don't know exactly why, but eating wild foods like this make me feel better. Possibly this is because they contain phytonutrients that our bodies crave but are lacking from clean, sterile, processed foods.
Wild edibles videos would go very well with bushcraft.
Whenever this topic is discussed, I think about how most people, if lost in the wilderness, would starve while surrounded by food.

They are very tasty and worth the extreme work, the left over parts make good fire starter since getting all the meat out is almost impossible.
Cool video! I'm going to try this today. I heard that Native Americans used to use acorns, and leave them in woven bags in the river to wash out the tanins.
Very informative, enjoyed watching.
Funny I collected a whole bunch last season . Now I know they can be used for . Thank you Really cool kitchen.

You should carry a pocketful of them and plant them in various places to give them a chance to germinate.
Very interesting. I had heard some of that but not all. Thank you. I hope you and your family are well.
Great video Vanessa. It was a pestle & mortar you used to grind the nuts by hand.

When preppingthe acorns to get rid of the tannin another bushcrafter said best transfer from hot water to hot water
I've heard it's best to let the acorns dry out first before cracking them open and then the nut inside will simply fall out of the shell.
Thank you for the tip!
@@WildWomanBushcraft You're welcome and thank you for your footage. :)
Really liked the content of the video.
Vanessa dear, the seed "cover", is called a "shell".!!
Looking good vanessa! 😍🙌🏻
That video was nuts.
Thank you that's nice to know I will have to try the coffee sometime stay happy stay safe 🦊🏆🌺👍✌️
the acorns with higher tannins in them will certainly make you sick if you forced yourself to eat a bunch of them off the ground.
You look so beautiful with nature behind you
i was wondering if, after making coffee, the hot water has also released more of the tannin, maybe the acorn powder would be good to eat after making coffee?

I make furniture from the RED Oak tree
White Oak is very good outdoor wood
great video ,important info to know
That was neat.
The native americans used them all the time. They would put them in a container and sink it in the river, come back in a month and take them out and grind them up and put them in their stews and also make into patty's and cook in fire as bread.
Very nice video , learned alot .
