Goodness from the fruit of the oak!

The acorn is a natural fruit in Germany. Forthousands of years, this land was predominantly covered with oak trees until the enormous forests had to give way to man, e.g. for the construction of large fleets, houses and to gain pasture land .In the Middle Ages and in prehistoric times, the acorn was therefore a normal food. It has a high nutritional value and a high content of B vitamins, minerals and secondary plant substances. It is inedible raw because of its high tannin content, but this can be removed by treatment.

Two years ago, we had the idea of adding acorn flour to our shop. We looked at all the European suppliers (i.e. the 2-3 that exist...), tried to make contact and ordered acorn samples. In the end ,we ended up with the company ŽELOD.SI in Slovenia .In contrast to the others, everything was just right for us:
A very trustworthy and idealistic company founder who has turned her favourite hobby into a profession, high-quality products and trustworthy sources of acorns.
It is very well known in Slovenia and supplies large bakeries, vocational schools and others. Together with her, we have now set about making acorn flour and coffee known in Germany and the rest of Europe.
We have obviously hit a nerve with this, as sales are already going through the roof, which also speaks for the very good quality of the product. And that's despite the fact thatwe haven't even done any marketing yet; we haven't yet been able to tackle planned measures such as writing to organic shops, adverts etc. due to delays caused by the coronavirus.
