    "Is that poison oak?"
    Wait, poison oak isn't a wood-bearing plant. Its named that way because its leaves resemble oak leaves.

    • @aarons9961
      @aarons9961 Рік тому +17

      Oak isn't recommended for food & drink because of toxic tannins. Beech, Maple, Birch, and most edible-fruit-bearing trees are safe to use. And of course bamboo.

    • @gcook725
      @gcook725 Рік тому +9

      @@aarons9961 Tell that to all the brewers and vintners who age alcohol in oak barrels. Its often used because a little bit of tannin acts as an antiseptic which helps to clarify wines and beer. Tannins are also found in teas, which gives it its astringency.
      From what I can find with a relatively soeedy google search, the largest danger from using oak for food surfaces (bowls, spoons, etc.) is that it tends to have relatively large pores and absorbs a lot of moisture, which can lead to a breeding ground for bacteria when later exposed to air.
      It takes a decent amount of tannin for it to kill a person, but it can cause an upset stomach eating a small to moderate amount of it. The amount that would leech from using an oak bowl or spoon would be probably small enough to cause no issues.
