Use Of Acorns For Food In California: Past, Present, Future, David A. Bainbridge Jan 1987

Use Of Acorns For Food In California: Past, Present, Future, David A. Bainbridge

David A Bainbridge

Acorns are a neglected food for people, livestock, domestic fowl, and wildlife in California. Acorns are easy to collect, store, and process. In addition to the nutritious nut and meal, acorns yield an oil comparable in quality and flavor with olive oil. The existing acorn market could be greatly expanded and provide new income for rural people. A serious effort to identify and propagate the best oak acorn cultivars for these products is long overdue. It is particularly appropriate for this research to be done in California, which once had an acorn based economy.
