[Terrapreta] if yer not forest...

[David Yarrow]

nuts are designed to be soaked in water to initiate germination and growth. 
one way to sweeten the meat.

generally, red oaks are too bitter to use for food.  the white oaks vary in 
their palatability.

simple soaking is two or three days in a bag in a slow moving stream.
