 +"Acorns contain tannins that are harmful in high quantities."

 +"To reduce tannins content of acorns, some native people in North America immersed whole acorns — peeled or not — into a stream for a few weeks or months. Others peeled and ground acorns into powder, and leached this powder with water along a river. Others just boiled the whole peeled acorns several times and discarded the water. All these techniques are called “tannin leaching”. It is also the way acorn tannins are removed in the Korean Peninsula to make the gelly mook"

 +"Still in Sardinia, this same acorn bread was sprinkled with wood ashes before eating! In North America and China, acorns were also soaked or boiled in wood ash water. This is because ash is alkaline, and hence neutralizes tannic acid. Adding soda powder to the soaking or cooking water will lead to a similar effect."

 +"Let’s try to reduce tannins even more before inviting Rhizopus. And let’s try to cook the acorn okara first, to check if Rhizopus would prefer to be alone."
