*Harvesting Wild Acorns Part 1
-- by Jackie Clay
The Health Benefits of Acorns
Acorns have been tested and found to be possibly the best food for effectively controlling blood sugar levels. They have a low sugar content, but leave a sweetish aftertaste, making them very good in stews, as well as in breads of all types.

They are rich in complex carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins while they are lower in fat than most other nuts. They are also a good source of fiber. An additional benefit from eating acorns is in the gathering. Acorns, although they "fall from trees," must be picked and processed before eating, which requires a walk, then bending and picking up. All of these are good exercise. In fact, that is why many "primitive" foods are so healthy. They require exercise just to put them on the table, not just a short trip to the convenience store or fast food joint.

Next is “Why Acorns are so Bitter and Which are the Best to Choose*

I may be the only member to have tasted acorn coffee.

I did so in the old "East Germany" - yuck!

Real coffee beans were used as barter.

Puede que sea el único miembro que ha probado el café de bellota.

Así lo hice en la antigua "Alemania Oriental" - ¡qué asco!

Se utilizaron granos de café real como trueque.

Según mis conociemientos , los cerdos comen las bellotas, pero nunca he oído que humanos comen bellotas también.

According to my knowledge pigs eat the acorns, but I have never heard that humans eat acorns also.
