So I use them with Chinese sauces and stir-fry on top. But you could also use them in Italian dishes.

Acorns are not only edible, but they were a f...YES! Acorns are not only edible, but they were a foundational food for every single culture that developed in the temperate belts, including European ones, Native Americans, and Far Eastern cultures. <br /><br />Processing them is a pain though. You have to first inspect that the shell to make sure that it hasn't been contaminated by a wasp larva (aka acorn grub--but if you do find them, they are edible as well, should you be inclined). <br /><br />After inspection, crack the shell and remove the nut meats. These will be full of tannins, which are both unpleasant in taste and bad for your tummy. <br /><br />You can either boil them, usually in several changes of water, depending on how much tannins the acorns have. You want to repeat the process till the water is clear, but each tree will produce nuts with different amounts of tannins, so I can't tell you how many. <br /><br />The boiling method is faster, but it destroys a starch which helps bind the nutmeat together. So if you choose to boil the acorns, you can use them like nuts, but you won't be able to use them as gluten-free flour--which is what most people want. <br /><br />So then there is the cold-leach method. The cold-leach method involves leaving the nut meat (broken into pieces) in cold water for several days, as the water darkens and looks like tea. Then you pour that water off and repeat the process, until the water doesn't darken. This process makes the nutmeat viable for flours when ground, however it's time consuming and wasteful of water. <br /><br />The Native Americans would put the nutmeat in a bag and leave it in a fast-moving stream, and collect it several days later, but this isn't something we all have access to. <br /><br />The most environmentally-friendly way for the modern forager to cold-leach acorns is to put a bag of nutmeats in the top-tank of your toilet (I know it SOUNDS gross, but the water coming in is clean) and just "go about your business" as you normally would. You want to leave them in for a couple of days, at least for Red Oaks. Even once the flushes come out clear, remember that the nuts aren't getting a very long soak, so they aren't releasing as much tannins in-between flushes, so don't use a clear flush as a sign of completion. <br /><br />Buckeyes are poisonous. <br /><br />Hope that helps!<br /><br />LizHenoftheWoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05923905932330133554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480056929337740687.post-60179058590413958782018-05-11T12:10:48.167-05:002018-05-11T12:10:48.167-05:00I didn't know acorns were edible.

As Cid and Snoopy have pointed out, I&#...Hi Anon, <br /><br />As Cid and Snoopy have pointed out, I'm not entirely sure why you feel dandelion isn't keto. <br /><br />But if you are looking for wild foods with even lower grams of carbs, I suggest you try the mustard family. Wild mustards grow all over North America, and I can guarantee there is one near you. They have about the same carbs as cultivated mustards, so about 2.5g net per cup.<br /><br />I would also recommend the leafy docks (like curly dock) or sow thistle, which are probably comparable to spinach in terms of carb count (somewhere in the 1.5g range). <br /><br />I would avoid herbs in the mint family, like deadnettle and henbit, as they are probably higher in carbs. <br /><br />If you are looking specifically for high-fat wild foods, I can't really think of any off-hand, aside from walnuts and pecans, depending on where you live. You could also look for the seeds of wild mustards, but be warned--gathering them is time-consuming and laborious. <br /><br />Be aware that acorns are actually quite high in carbs, for a nut, while being rather low in fat. <br /><br />Hope that helps!<br />HenoftheWoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05923905932330133554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480056929337740687.post-66544542615327389402018-04-26T16:40:29.740-05:002018-04-26T16:40:29.740-05:00Exactly, thanks Cid. "Not keto" is "...Exactly, thanks Cid. "Not keto" is "not a thing." Keto means only one thing - a reduction of carbohydrates low enough to enter ketosys. Nothing more. A "well formed ketogenic diet" will have the majority of its calories from fat sources, you can be ketogenic by not eating anything. At all.

Ketogenic foods are simply foods that carry a very low to no carbohydrate count, with specific macros that make up your daily fat / carbohydrate / protein ratios; however, those macros are made up from several different food sources. The nutrient profile of dandelions makes them an ideal food for folks on a ketogenic diet, and are recommended on many ketogenic websites. They contain 25 calories per cup of chopped dandelion greens, with 5 grams of carbohydrate and roughly 2 grams of fiber, making one cup of greens a total of 3 grams of carbohydrate. (I imagine the stems have virtually the same nutrient make up as the greens).
