P. S. Betsy, I don't think that white oak acrons really CAN be stored
without sprouting. I don't know if they can be frozen of if people just
worked like crazy to process as many as possible and dry the meal. I've
read that they would hang them in a flowing stream in a cloth bag to remove
the tannins, but maybe it was as much to slow metabolism as anything else.
