Fresh chestnuts are edible nuts with a sweet, starchy flavor and crisp shells; often roasted, boiled, or used in stuffing, baking, and savory dishes. Sold in-shell by weight for home cooking.
Chestnuts feature a tender, slightly sweet flesh enclosed in a hard, glossy brown shell. They are commonly prepared by roasting, boiling, or vacuum-packing after peeling. Chestnuts are popular in holiday recipes, stuffings, soups, and desserts, and can be pureed or candied for baking and savory applications. Store refrigerated and use within several days, or freeze cooked chestnuts for longer storage.
