Today I’m Going To Answer The Question: Are Acorns Edible?
But before I can answer that, you need to understand some simple facts.
You need Carbs to survive!
Yes, carbs…the “bad guy” in every diet.
Why? Because carbohydrates are one of the easiest sources of energy for the human body to digest.
Simple carbs like honey and sugar can enter your bloodstream quickly.
These provide a near-instant energy boost and mental agility when you start to fade.
More complex carbs from whole grains provide a longer-lasting source of energy.
Making grain-based carbs better for extended periods of activity.
And a healthy body requires some carbs, just not as much as most of us consume daily.
Because if you regularly consume excess carbs (more than the body needs), your body will ultimately turn those extra carbs into fat.
Carbs are hard to avoid in the grocery store, so most of us end up on diets high in carbs.
As we all know, storing lots of fat is unhealthy. So in modern society, carbs tend to get a bad rap.
But what most people don’t realize, carbs are difficult to find in nature.
That’s not to say there aren’t wild carbohydrates out there for a savvy forager.
One of the most common wild edibles is something you’ve passed on countless walks and never considered a food source.
