Does anyone have any tips for removing the testa? I've tried soaking for 3 minutes and drying in the oven at 250 for 20 minutes. Neither method worked. I've also just ground up the acorns with the testa attached, but I think that adds to my leaching time. Thanks!

Take a peek at this thread. https://permies.com/t/72556/kitchen/Acorn-Mush-Preparation

Testa removal was mentioned in there somewhere. Lots of recipes too!

Thanks! I saw that post on acorn mush and although testas are mentioned, there was NO information about how to remove them. That's what I'm looking for!

Maybe this article will help. It mentions removing the testa - How To make Acorn Flour.
