[click to enlarge] California Buckeye |
A few Miwok people occasionally peeled and dried buckeye nuts and added several of them to black oak acorns. They were then pounded into flour, leached, cooked, and eaten.
Since buckeye was a less-desirable food for most miwok people, few have prepared it as food since the 1920s.
