Acorns were a major food source for native tribes. There are many ways to prepare acorns for immediate use or for future storage. They are nutritious and very abundant in the fall and winter months. In this video I show you a simple way to prepare tasty nutritious acorn cookies that can be eaten immediately or stored for the future.

West of Albany New York, we at the Iroquois Museum found a butternut processing site, including an in situ backpack basket filled with them. Four of the most exquisite stone tools I’ve ever seen were at the top of the basket. Radiocarbon date was 2000 BCE. We also found a lap anvil and five nutting stones. No one has ever found a basket in New York (and probably not even anywhere in New England), and the only reason it was preserved, was because, over four millennia, the Schoharie Creek flooded into the basket and their tannic acid is preserved the basket.

Chad, have you considered growing amaranth? It's usually quite drought tolerant, and was a major staple crop of the Aztecs, who reputedly farmed even more of it than maize. The seeds are edible as a pseudograin similar to quinoa, but even more nutritious as they contain all nine essential amino acids, and the leaves are similar to spinach. Young and tender leaves are best for eating raw, with the older ones cooked through sauteeing, boiling, steaming, and so forth.

You're onto something now Chad. If you can procure a source of fat and salt, you will be able to make basic unleavened bread from the acorn flour you process. Flour is a vital component in baking and cooking in general. Cookies are the first step towards creating and maintaining a portable food source that you can take with you on long trips. Another food source which utilizes flour and water at a ratio of <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="121">2:1</a> A.K.A. hard tack can also be taken and stored for long periods of time; up to a year in fact, if stored properly.

The reality is that primitive people labored a lot to collect and prepare foods. That was their job. Get food! It really is a full-time job. In today's modern world we are so disconnected from that process because we have supermarkets and modern kitchens and even fast-food restaurants. Now we just grab and eat.

I've seen Mayan ladies make corn flour and they use a different tool than a mortar and pestle but it's a similar idea. It's like a big flat stone set at an angle over a bowl they use an oblong rock and larger motions to grind more material at a time, then they'll shake the bowl so the larger granules come to the top and put it back on the surface for more grinding.
