Impact of tannin removal methods on Pyrenean acorn flour: nutritional analysis of soaking, scalding, roasting, and untreated acorns from Quercus pyrenaica harvested in Portugal, 2021. Roasted flour showed higher protein, fibre, and fatty acids; scalded flour had the lowest phenolic compounds, indicating best suitability for human consumption. Gluten-free, nutrient-rich flour with potential for food industry applications.
