How do you leach an acorn?

Answer 1

To leach an acorn, start by shelling and chopping the acorns into smaller pieces for faster leaching. Place the pieces in a container and cover them with water, then let them soak for several hours or overnight, changing the water multiple times to remove the tannins that make them bitter. After leaching, you can either dry the acorns for later use or cook them for immediate consumption. This process makes the acorns palatable and safe to eat.
