Processing Acorns into Superfood / November 3rd, 2024
"If truth be told, the real staff of life for mankind as a whole has probably been neither wheat nor rice, but instead the wild acorns from the oak trees that grow in America, Europe, Asia and Africa."
- "The Wordsworth Guide to Edible Plants & Animals" by A.D. Livingston & Helen Livingston
The acorn is food for such a vast expanse of species, humans certainly being one of them. This workshop will discuss some of the history of the acorn as a food source, nutritional value of the acorn, techniques employed by indigenous peoples to process acorns into food, traditional acorn dishes and how to prepare them at home using your own hands and modern kitchen equipment. All attending will be served freshly baked acorn maple muffins with hot coffee. This class is limited to 25 individuals. * For people who purchase the workshop admission and a copy of my "Foraging Kentucky" book, note that the books will be handed out in-person at the beginning of the workshop event.
