Organic Whole Peeled and Roasted Chestnuts, 3oz (3 Pack) | Chestnuts Peeled and Ready to Eat | Great for Cooking & Baking | Gluten Free | Kosher

Great product; tasted great.

I use this brand of steamed and peeled chestnuts often and they’re not always easy to find locally unless it’s around November through December. I like this brand very much and it’s perfect for the recipe I make with them. Believe it or not, they are used in a recipe to make a form of chocolate pudding and it’s so delicious. It’s a recipe I gotten through Tracy Anderson. It’s a chocolate pudding. It’s amazing.

I purchased the pack of three a couple of times. These last packages, once they were opened for a few days started to turn moldy and I threw them away. I later found out that after opening, they should not be in an air-tight container. A paper bag or a container with small air holes for circulation is best. It's also suggested they be refrigerated after opening. They're supposed to be treated like fresh fruit and not thought of as nuts.

I ordered three packs of these chestnuts. All were mushy and had black spots upon delivery; not mold, I think, but signs of rot nonetheless. Never having tasted chestnuts before, I was not sure how they should look and taste. So I tried a small bite, which was bitter and foul tasting. Apparently this product is non-returnable but I will be seeking a refund of my money. Zero stars. Buyer beware.

UPDATE Jan 2023 Running these through a short cycle in thr toaster oven significantly improves texture & flavor! Of course, you have to keep a close eye on them since they burn easily (yes, I burned my first batch), and you need to use the flat "cookie" sheet that comes with your oven (or a sheet of foil) to keep them from dropping to the bottom. The result not only heats them but firms them up as well, making them more like fresh roasted. YUM! ----------- Previously I had not tasted prepackaged chestnuts so I can't compare to another brand. My only experience was with fresh roasted. Compared to those, these packaged chestnuts are just okay. These are very (very!) soft and slightly sticky, and don't smell roasted (or even good). However, taste-wise they do still satisfy my craving for chestnuts, and since my local grocers no longer carry fresh chestnuts at any time of year, these are better than zero chestnuts. (My experience with fresh roasted chestnuts is that they are dry (not sticky) and while not precisely crunchy, definitely not soft, with a firm, satisfying chew.) For those who have never had fresh roasted chestnuts, you are missing one of Mother Nature's greatest delights! Well worth the effort to roast and peel. Just be careful when you buy them that they are truly fresh. Chestnuts are moderately perishable and, unlike other nuts, need refrigeration if they are to be kept for any length of time. They can be moldy inside without showing any sign outside. If you are allergic to mold, give them a good sniff before buying to see if your nose reacts. If it doesn't, you're good to go. (If you aren't allergic, when you get home, cut an X when piercing - see below - to look inside each nut for mold.) If you've never roasted chestnuts before, be sure to read a few recipes before doing the deed yourself (personally, I've never washed my chestnuts since I'm not eating the skin, but apparently that's a thing now, and it could increase roasting time from what it would be for dry nuts). Oven temps vary greatly so keep an eye on them after the first 15 minutes... and don't forget to pierce the skins before you roast or else you'll be cleaning tiny chestnut bits from the inside of your oven!!! (Yes, the voice of experience, lol!)

Delicious. Bought for my aunt as she requested for it

fresh and wonderful

Excelente gracias

Excellent

Recomiendo el producto muy ricas y saben al 100 por ciento gracias

I was pleasantly surprised, I live in Canada, and cannot seem to find Chestnuts - I really miss them with Brussel sprouts this time of the year, along with the Jamie Oliver recipe!! I opened a pack, and they taste perfect! I'm so pleased. good price too.

Muy ricas, pero falta instrucciones en español. Tienen un líquido de conserva que si no se quita, hace que se echen a perder en pocos días.

Great Service As advertised
