[Video] How to Process #Acorns and make #AcornFlour | Preparing Acorns to Eat
In the Kitchen with Matt
"In this episode of In the Kitchen with Matt, I will show you how to process acorns and make acorn flour. You will learn how to prepare acorns to eat.
"Acorns are a very abundant food source but it seems few people know that they can be eaten. I have talked to several people who didn't even know you could eat them. Acorns have been eaten for thousands of years and are a good source of protein, healthy fats, carbohydrates, and other healthy minerals. However, you can't just eat them right off the tree, they need to be processed first. Acorns contain tannins in them which make them very bitter and potentially toxic to humans. The tannins need to first be leached out of the Acorns then they can be eaten, Red Oak Acorns contain the highest level of tannins.
"In this video, I will show you one method on how to process them but there are a few others. I will briefly talk about the boiling method as well. It can be tedious to process them but oh so satisfying. The acorn flour can be used in muffins, pancakes, bread, etc. It is very easy to do, if I can do it, you can do it. Let's get started!
You will need:
- Acorns (White Oak, Live Oak, Red Oak, etc.)
- Water
- Large Bowls
- Nut cracker or meat tenderizer
- sheet pan (lined with a silicone mat, parchment paper, etc.)
- wooden spoon
- airtight container for storage (Tupperware, etc.)
- Patience. :) lolWatch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkSSk9I8u7g

Most people (I guess?): Finds a recipe, then follows the recipe.
Me: Finds a recipe, finds a couple more similar recipes, mentally compares the recipes, breaks down all the common elements (basically deconstructing the recipe), looks around to see what ingredients I have on hand, then re-constructs the recipe based on ingredients on hand (unless I happen to be going to the store), jots down rough notes, creates a new recipe (tweaking as needed).
Does anyone else do this? I know some folks who can just throw together ingredients (and I can do that too) -- but I prefer having a "formula" and notes so I can replicate it in the future (if it comes out well), or tweak as needed.

I try to eat seasonally, and I'm lucky enough to live close to a couple of very productive local farms (one of which has a winter farm store, with lots of root veggies). I also freeze meals to eat on days I don't feel like cooking. Just make sure you date them, and eat before they go bad... As a friend said the other day, "The freezer is NOT a time machine."
Quick, Healthy Meals Using Seasonal Produce
October 24, 2024, by Jilleon Farrell, Dietetic Intern, University of Maine, and Kate Yerxa, MS, RD, Extension Professor University of Maine Cooperative Extension
"October’s harvest is all about rich flavors and local ingredients, featuring an assortment of fruits, vegetables, and grains that all capture the essence of the season. Whether you’re a fan of stews, casseroles, or delicious desserts, fall provides a variety of seasonal produce to create satisfying and flavorful meals. In Maine, pumpkins, apples, squash, potatoes, beets, carrots, cabbage, parsnips, and turnips are all in season in the late fall.
"By using seasonal foods in your meals, you not only get to enjoy our local foods but also fresh ingredients. So head to your local farmers market, farm stand, or grocery store for seasonal produce to create some fun fall meals.
"Meals don’t need to take a long time to prepare or cost a lot of money. Focus on choosing recipes that are quick to prepare with both local and easily accessible ingredients. The goal is to make healthy eating easier for you and create a more enjoyable cooking experience.
"Why are quick and easy meals a great option?
- Saves Time: Quick meals reduce the time spent in the kitchen, making it easier to fit cooking into a busy schedule.
- Encourages Healthy Eating: Simpler meals often mean fewer processed ingredients, helping you maintain a balanced diet.
- Reduces Stress: Having easy recipes on hand can minimize the stress of meal planning and preparation.
- Improves Consistency: Quick and easy meals are more likely to become a regular part of your routine, supporting long-term healthy eating habits."Why is buying and eating local and in-season produce a great option?
- Freshness: Seasonal produce is often harvested at peak ripeness, which means better flavor and more nutrients for you.
- Affordability: Foods in season are usually less expensive, so you can enjoy a variety of fresh options without breaking the bank.
- Environmental Impact: Seasonal foods require less transportation, which means a smaller carbon footprint and less impact on the planet."A few of our favorite fall Mainely Dish recipes include Butternut Squash Bisque, Carrot Fries, Carrot Bread, Pumpkin Seeds, Roasted Root Vegetables, and Stuffed Squash. Make sure you visit the University of Maine Cooperative Extension’s Mainely Dish recipe page to find your favorite quick and healthy fall recipe."
