Question:
I want to know of what use are acorns. A friend uses a machine like a vacuume to pick them up and takes them to be sold. He says they are dumped into a water bath, the bad acorns sink and the good ones float. He will not tell us where he takes them and what they are used for. So of course I want the question answered.
