Acorns.......the New Old Superfood?

More people are looking for that food or pill that will improve health.  Well, instead of a cache of pills or some over processed beverage drink, let's consider eating what squirrels and bears eat....acorns.

In an review article in Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, researchers found that the lowly acorn is chock full of healthful stuff.  In addition to a whole host of phytochemicals, acorns are a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins A and E, and unsaturated fatty acids.
