Acorns
The importance of oak trees is well attested in the bible. In a couple of locations where we read about Abraham going to a plain (of Mamre or Moire) the word plain should actually be rendered 'oak'. Trees or groves (often oak) were important in Canaanite religion as well. The name Asherah means grove and sometimes the word grove is used in place of the word Asherah.
