About Acorn flour
Acorn flour is a ground product made from acorn kernels, generally processed to reduce their bitterness before milling. It is used in some traditional and contemporary baking and cooking, often alone or blended with other flours.
The flour is usually tan to brown, with a fine or somewhat coarse meal-like texture depending on milling. Its flavour can be earthy and nutty, though it varies with the acorns and processing. Products differ in whether they are raw or heat-treated and in how thoroughly tannins were removed.
