Thread OP

This nut was from a tree in Eastern Washington. I don't know whether the tree is ingenous or from somewhere else. Does anyone know what it is?

Thanks!

Its an acorn off an oak tree.

The west coast native Americans ate acorns but there is a lot of processing that goes into it. Acorns are high in tannins - you have to leach that out somehow.
