Book Chapter
ACORN BREAD
2022
Overview
The first baked goods in the South might seem humble, but getting, processing, and cooking them were far from simple. For maybe 10,000 years before the domestication of corn, southern Native Americans ate bread made from nuts and roots that women gathered while men hunted.¹ From the Gulf Coast to the Chesapeake Bay, oaks, chestnuts, hickories, and black walnut trees rained down their fruits in the fall. Native women ventured to the woods to collect nuts and acorns, loading their heavy booty into baskets they had woven and lugging it back to their homes.
Every year, the pressure to gather
