Yes, but they contain Tannic Acid, which upsets your stomach. To get rid of the Tannic Acid, Toss the nuts into a large pot, and cover them with plenty of water. Bring to a boil and continue boiling for about 15 minutes. The water will turn brown as the tannic acid is extracted from the kernels. Throw out the water and replace it with fresh water. Re-boil the acorns, throwing out the brown water several times until the water is clear. The boiling process takes about two or three hours, though the time varies with the amount of tannic acid in the acorns. When you are finished, the acorns will no longer taste bitter and will have turned a darker brown. The nuts have a flavor similar to boiled chestnuts. Unless you want to use them wet, you need to dry out the nuts. Spread them out on cookie sheets and roast them in an oven at about 200 degrees F for an hour. You can eat the roasted nuts or chop them up to use as you would any chopped nuts. They can be dipped in sugar and eaten as candy.
Yes!
But first, you have to boil it to get the toxins out, if you want to grow through all the trouble.
Boil the nuts until the water turns brown, then take out the water, and repeat. The whole process takes about 2-3 hours. This is the process the native Americans used, and its what we use now.
I personally think it is worth the time, but some people have different opinions.
Hope I helped:)
Yes you can. They are in many recipes including breads and pancakes.
I wouldnt eat them raw though they are very bitter
If you are a squirrel, no problem.
For humans, you need to leach out the tannin which usually involves crushing the acorns and soaking them in water and changing the water several times.
you have to like cook it and stuff but i wouldnt recromend it :]
