Yes, you can eat them, and they are absolutely delicious.  They’re also nutritious and versatile.  You can use them for just about any purpose that you can use nuts or flour.

You can follow our acorn progress in part on our Instagram page, where I often post pictures of our foraging and cooking adventures.
