Description
The acorn, or oaknut, is the nut of the oaks and their close relatives. It usually contains a single seed, enclosed in a tough, leathery shell, and borne in a cup-shaped cupule. Acorns are 1–6 centimetres long and 0.8–4 cm broad.
Raw acorns contain tannins which can be toxic to humans and cause an unpleasant bitter taste. But by leaching acorns to remove the tannin, they can be made safe for human consumption. This can be done with hot or cold water, depending on how you want to use the acorns afterwards.
