Acorn

Everywhere there are oak trees, at one time or another people ate acorn. For many indigenous people across North America and the world, acorn was a staple food around which their entire diet was based. Today much of that important food history has been forgotten and many people now believe this once sacred food to be inedible. This book aims to change that Acorn is a delicious, nutritious and extremely versatile food that is high in protein, complex carbs, healthy fats, and it's gluten-free While it does take a little work to prepare, the end result is absolutely worth it.
