Best Primitive Survival Food: Acorn Mush: (Season 2, episode 9)

The acorn (Quercus) is the best wild edible survival food in this region during the fall months but it must be properly prepared for consumption. These bitter nuts are readily available on many species of oak trees which are common throughout this region. It’s a food that can simply be collected from the ground or trees. After grinding it into a flour and leaching it of the bitter tannins it becomes a tasty and nutritious food that native tribes relied on for centuries. In this video I take you on the full journey of collecting, processing and cooking acorns in the totally primitive way and the result was delicious. Acorns have been a part of my diet for years and every year I anxiously await for the harvest season to begin. Tell me about your experience with acorns in the comments section below.
