A passage of Wild Edible Plants of Arizona:
Emory oak acorns are unique because they only occasionally need leaching and when they do, their treatment will be less than other species. Once ripe (fall) gather them by branch shaking or from the ground (recent). Only acorns with no worm/insect holes and w/o damaged shells should be selected.
