Density 39 · -26 vs Nuts & seeds medianDried acorns also land at 39 of 100, Low band, ranking 51st of 60 in Nuts & seeds against a median of 65. Drying concentrates their minerals somewhat versus the raw form, giving 20% DV of magnesium, 16% DV of protein, and 15% DV of potassium per 100 g.
Like the raw version, they're typically leached and ground into flour or roasted before eating rather than eaten out of hand. At 509 calories per 100 g they're notably more calorie-dense than raw acorns, and pecans again outscore them among nuts and seeds for anyone comparing options in this category.
