FAQ:
- Q: Are acorns considered "tree nuts" for those who have allergies in that food category?
  A: Hi Lance, great question. Yes, acorns are tree nuts and should be avoided by those with tree nut allergies. This allergy can be very serious but fortunately is quite rare- affecting less than 1% of the population. All four initial Folk Revival items contain other tree nuts as well- so this is the one group of consumers that Folk Revival is off-limits to.
- Q: How much fiber in each cup? Please provide both soluable and insoluable quantities. reply to mike@mikesety.com
  A: Thanks for reaching out and for the great question. Each cup of Folk Revival contains 6g of fiber, or 21% DV. Most of this fiber is soluble, and mostly comes from chicory root. The product contains some insoluble fiber from the nuts and seeds as well. I hope this is helpful.
- Q: Hello, 1) Who do you get your acorns from and how is the land managed? 2) How do you process the acorns? What method do you use to leech out the tannins? 3) Are platform 2 and 3 in the innovation pipeline also acorn based? Thanks
  A: Hi Felix, Great questions! We source our acorns from the Mediterranean region. (That will have to do!). The land is similar to our National Forest system in the US, meaning its largely preserved land but also mixed use. Members of the local communities have the right to harvest their local acorns from these forests and have been doing so for quite some time. As for processing, the acorns are ground and leached. The tannins are removed using cold water and rinsing over the course of several da...
- Q: Hi FR team. Firstly I am positively astounded by your product as I grew up knowing Oak trees and acorns but this is the first time I am hearing of a food product incorporating acorns and appreciate the rationale for this (vs say using something as just a filler or to provide c...
  A: Hi Dion, This is one of the exciting things about Folk Revival; We are all familiar with oak trees and acorns, but very few of us consume them because of the labor required by us, as individuals, to turn acorns into edible food. It's really hard work. That's where Folk Revival comes in. We provide the scale and efficiency to help make this possible. As for overseas expansion, we fully agree. There is a huge opportunity for international growth. It's an exciting prospect for the for the future...
- Q: Hello, what's your monthly burn rate ? What is your exist strategy? How many sales have been achieved so far?
  A: Hi Wael, Thanks for the excellent questions and your patience as I was traveling and overseeing production. Our monthly burn rate for 2024 will be ~$20k/month based on the current budget. As for our exit strategy, we have connections in Private Equity and with many Strategics who we will engage with, but we have a few years of growth ahead of us, prior to having those conversations. Sales YTD are under $50k, but set to increase dramatically starting next month (December), with UNFI and Whole ...
