On the pasture from the village edge, in the bright light of the summer, an oak can be remarked. Few of those who pass near it, know that in many cultures it was considered the tree of the gods. Also, that the acorn is edible, in the past being one of the basic foods of the inhabitants of North America. But it contains a high amount of tannin, which is toxic and gives a bitter taste. Therefore, before being consumed, it is necessary to boil the acorns in many waters (until the water is not brown). To accelerate the process, it can be add wood ashes in water. After that, can be consumed as such or fried.

Thanks.
