There’s a big difference between “eating raw acorns”, which will make you sick, and “eating bread from well-rinsed acorn flour”, which is one of the best ways to make use of an abundant forest product and which has been done all over the world.
You probably don’t need to. “Bread from acorn flour” and “relatively well off” probably means they had running water and large jars. A kid eating unrinsed acorn flour will not stomach more than 100 kcal per day of it without getting sick.
Still, no matter what the context, eating acorn foods just sounds badass.
I’m talking about the agroforestry of Algonquian peoples (and others too).
