In Part 3 of the Acorn Bread series, we'll be learning how to leach our acorns and grind them into flour! Acorns contain tannins which are not good if consumed in excess and further are bitter and astringent.
Leaching is the process of removing those tannins which will yield acorn flour that will make delicious and healthy bread!
Huge thanks to the channel, Insteading, for providing the Hot Leaching method footage! See their fantastic Acorn Foraging and Eating video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLo3UWh-BN4
