Black background, sitting on a sturdy brown woodblock is a silver bowl filled to the brim with pea-green little acorns. Some still have their grey caps while others have fallen off to reveal bright sunflower-yellow tops. So cheery!

   Willow oak acorns, Quercus phellos 1/

   Surprisingly delicious!

   After cold processing, they taste like the smell of fresh hay, wheat and hulled sunflower seeds.

   With heat processing, they taste like walnuts with a tinge of bitterness.

   This thread demonstrates how to cold-process the acorns and different ways of using them. Read the AltText for more details.
