acorn hummus on blue corn chips with miner’s lettuce leaf garnish. I have also been enjoying piling up the greens on tuna melts, in salads and in raw greens drinks. Below is the recipe for the acorn hummus. The acorns are used in place of the garbanzos/chickpeas usually found in this popular dip.

Acorn Hummus

1 c wet acorns
1/4 c olive oil
1 c tahini
3 pitted dates
2 cloves garlic
juice from 1/2 of a medium-sized lemon
salt

Use processed acorns (tannins removed) that are wet. This means they have been rehydrated or boiled. Place one cup into blender, along with olive oil, tahini, dates, garlic, lemon juice and salt. Enjoy on sandwhiches, as a vegetable dip, with chips or any other way you might eat hummus. Get dippy!

You can prepare your own acorns. Collect, steam to pop from shell, boil in repeated cold water pots until water comes out clear. Dry overnight. Be sure to boil until water is clear, acorns can be mildly poisonous. Don't steal from the squirrels!

I always knew that acorns were used as a food source but never could find good instructions for removing the tannis prior to use so...Thanks! I will have to hunt for some more recipes. I know that they can be incorporated into soups and breads somehow. I'm curious as to the nutritional value and any pros and cons to their regular addition to a human diet. google time.

Others need its cheer and so do you-
Need it most when outer sky's dull gray
Leaves the sunshine-making yours to do.
