Acorns and Eat 'em (video)
by Suellen Ocean

Truly a picture is worth a thousand words. Though I’d read about how to prepare acorns, I truly began to incorporate them into my diet after watching this delightful, homey video. You can see for yourself how to collect, prepare, store, and enjoy acorns in a variety of practical, simple ways. Especially valuable is Suellen's modern adaptation for leaching acorns.
