Thanks so much for spreading the word about this underutilized food! After messing around with these nuts for the past few months,I would say that the flavor is, well, uniquely acorn-y. It's reminiscent of maple, but with a more up-front nuttiness. It's slightly sweet, and a little malty. When we made bread with it, it gave it a vaguely spicy, "wild" flavor.

My little boys told me this fall that they’d been sampling acorns in the woods outside our house. Curious, I was. 😀 very cool. Perhaps I should jump on the bandwagon.
That's cute! I hear that white acorns are the most "edible" raw. I remember smashing acorns apart as a kid and eating them during recess, actually! We thought we were so brave.
