Organic Fresh Chestnuts

Product Details

Approx. 40-50 chestnuts per lb
Just in time for the holidays, these fresh chestnuts are delicious in any number of dishes. If roasting, score the outside of the shell to account for expansion of the fruit when cooking. Their sweet, earthy and rich flavor pairs well with sweet or savory dishes. They can even be eaten raw.

These were grown by Heath Ranch in Orland, CA. They are not nuts, but rather nutrient-dense, starchy little fruits.  They fall from the tree looking shiny, but actually, reduce in tannins and improve in flavor--as well as ease-of-peeling--as they cure and their skin turns a bit duller.  You don't want to wait too long to incorporate them into a recipe, as a completely dried chestnut will harden and be more labor intensive to work with.  However, they can be boiled and beautifully revived at any stage.
