Description
A seasonal treat, fresh chestnuts have a mellow, sweet flavor and a texture that is unlike any other nut. These glossy, spherical nuts do well when roasted, boiled, or used in savory and sweet recipes; they are native to temperate areas and have a soft, starchy inside with a subtle sweetness. Aside from being tasty, fresh chestnuts are a healthy addition to any diet since they are rich in complex carbs, fiber, and important vitamins and minerals such as potassium and vitamin C. A festive and healthy addition to any dish, raw chestnuts are perfect for wintertime snacking or cooking into soups, pies, or stuffing.
