Are acorns edible? Is there such a thing as roasted acorns? like from an oak tree?

Answer 1

Yes they are. I've actually eaten them before when I was passing through an Indian reservation in Arizona. They have acorn pancakes. Bitter and grainy and takes a bit of getting used to but definitely edible. You have to remove the tannic acid before eating though.

Answer 2

Acorns are edible, but often contain large quantities of bitter substances. White oak acorns usually have a better flavor than red oak acorns. Gather and shell the acorns. Soak the acorns in water for 2 to 7 days, changing the water twice daily, to remove the bitter substance. Boil the acorns or grind them into flour and use the flour for baking. Tannic acid gives the acorns their bitter taste. Eating an excessive amount of acorns high in tannic acid can lead to kidney failure. Before eating acorns, leach out this chemical through soaking.

Answer 3

Acorns are edible, like any other nut (chestnut, hazelnut, etc.)
They are mealy but have a lovely flavour.
somewhere I have a spanish recipe for acorn torte...(when I find it I'll send it to you)
