I thought they were both great. But yeah, natural beauty is the only beauty. If we only fed our children with what we cooked at home and not what we could get out of a box or from a restaurant. Women would just shine out radiant and young men too. We are all darkened by our food we eat in this modern day. Why do you think that is? Sin. That is why Yahshua the Messiah is the answer to everything. He solved the world's problem through his own self. It all fell on him.

Michael , did you do a typo , i thought acorns came from the oak tree , you should have alot of in the S.C mountains , if they haven't been destroyed by fire . Here in eastern ky they are very plentiful , ive never had acorn but i think im going to give it a go

That's what I meant.

christine none of your concern Start simply with small amounts, until you get the knack of it. It seems like a lot of work, but most of that (after the shelling is waiting time.

No, but you can use it to tan hides, make beer and wine or use it as an ink. Look up the uses of tannin.

Shutting up is a great quality in a man too. Prevents these types of things coming out :)

@@Ludifant truth hurts.

According to a different yt video, you don't have to.

+Betsy Hinze I've since found that (with the cold method) changing the water 4 to 5 times a day get far quicker results. Also, be sure to grind the grits as fine as possible.

+Suburban Foragers thanks for the tip, I'll try doing that and see if it speeds it up. I ground the grits more finely this morning in the hopes that it would help as well. Any idea why the hot water method is also taking so long? I've changed the water 20-25 times so far and they are still very tannic. :(

@@betsyhinze7407 so did you ever get it figured out, Betsy? You could try steaming the acorns. I hear that gets rid of tannic really well.

Maybe by cooking it on a thin sheet pan and evaporating the water off. Then, you could scrape the pan of the residue that's left behind.

He said he puts it in a cold place so the starch can sit for one day. You pour out the water and use the starch on the bottom. Put a linen cloth in a sieve and dry the mud-like starch either on a flat tray or on a baking tray. Takes very low temperature in the oven and some hours of drying

all acorns are edible if leeched.

It's important to know, if suddenly there IS no grocery store to go to. Acorn flour. Hopefully, it remains useless trivia factoid. Worse case scenario? The world ended and you're making Acorn cupcakes for a koolaid cult.

Grow up and stop catcalling people through video comments you creep. That's most likely his grand daughter, imagine someone saying that about your kin while you're an old man. You're gross, as are the people who liked that.

Draven Romero As long as he doesn't cross the line, what's wrong with it?

@@therespectedlex9794 being a gross creep. Have some respect for your elders and women. How old are both of you, you defending-him/questioning-my-response makes you no better. People like this ruin good hearted youtube channels and things in life. Its obviously a family oriented channel. On a side note, what do idiots posting things like this get from acting this way? Do people expect to end up talking to and meeting the people who's videos they comment on? Do they think overstepping their boundaries and creeping around social media will get them ANY attention from any women? All it does is ruin experiences for everyone else. ON ANOTHER SIDE NOTE: The guy who said that looks more than 12 years older than her, and it makes it even more creepy.

@@back2paranormal you're not my friend. There's a time and a place for "mild harmless flirting", a decent human being knows that's not on social media directed at a younger woman through her grandfather's family youtube account. I've seen too many grimy comments, none is far better than some. "Lifes too short" to stand by and see people disrespect good-hearted people. They're making acorn flour, not hosting a dating service; I could see if he said something charming, clever, witty, funny, or etc, but he didnt, his only intent was to approach her through her grandfather in a creepy way for creepy reasons; that's not okay at all.

@@back2paranormal to be called uptight/sensitive for having respect for people is idiotic. Enjoy the rest of your life being a wet blanket to all the good in society, tell yourself what you want to to make yourself feel good about your actions. Nothing about this guys comment was funny at all OR clever OR witty? Just grimy. Also you don't know me in the slightest. Nothing you said is even close to how I am as a human.

Oh, wow.. Ain´t the internet great? I answered my own question in minutes. Turns out, if you want to store any type of acorn-based food. The best way is to store a dried acorn. Because of the tannin in the acorn, which is what we are leaching out, it is very handy to store and it can last up to DECADES.. So. If you are a bit of a hobby-prepper like me, you are going to create vast stores of dried acorns :) And if you are a bit of a science-hog, like me, you´ll love this: Acorns: A forgotten superfood | Marcie Mayer | TEDxThessaloniki

+Jason Shoraka Unfortunatly, I've found the hot leaching method to use a lot of energy (it is more like 20 times)and the end result produces a darker flour that makes a less flexible pastry.

hahaha

Heating and reheating this way destroys the acorns' nutrients. You'll render all the other work you've done pointless. Don't do this..

Its been saud if you boil the acirns it ruins the starch which is the binding agent in acirns as it has no gluton

Hot water leeching is good only if you do not intend to use it as a flour. The boiling will result in a crumbly four that will not hold together.

I am curious.. Why not? Or is it a joke? English as a second language, so I might have missed something.

Well, she was probably holding the camera when he drained the jars in the sink. And frankly, I am not offended by the use of a hot chick. I wonder if anyone would watch Price Is Right is there weren’t nines in every episode 🤷‍♂️

Natives all over did it with nothing but a couple of rocks to both get the nuts out and grind them. There are many videos out there that show various methods. It's not hard. You can lay out the nuts and flour on plates, screens, or even a chair to dry them. You can cook them in various leaves over wood coals. It just takes creativity. No equipment needed.

Ouch, way too harsh... though I do agree it would have been nice to hear a lot more from Heather on the subject at hand.

Probably his grandkid who wanted to spend time with him, half-way through she looked like she wanted to go out with her friends/etc because it was getting late, then she started glaring at the camera person and the old dude like she wanted his heart to give up already. Video would've been better off without her though, she just stood there? I mean it's nice to chill with your grandpa, but atleast pay attention and dont nod at everything.

Perhaps she is naturally quiet and shy? or doesn't know the process and is learning while helping to film the process. AND perhaps you're a judgmental asshole. eh?

That´s interesting, that you got that out of this video. I was just thinking it was impressive how well she was able to be silent and observe and be comfortable. Takes some inner peace that people don´t have in my experience. Which in my mind means she is generally treated well or has overcome any bad treatment. And as for respect.. We need to teach young people real skills, so they can teach their children. I think teaching someone and making them a bearer of our treasured knowledge is not disrespectful at all, but one of the great things you can do for them. Maybe she just didn´t want to join in on video. Who knows? Just goes to show, we all make our own version of reality and react to it. None of us know what´s going on, it´s a miracle that we get stuff right sometimes. All we can do is love each other for the different perspectives it gives on the same thing. So thanks for sharing.
