Description

Chestnuts are unlike other "nuts" in that they have a high moisture content and are low in fat. Therefore, it is important to store chestnuts in refrigeration until a few days before you intend to enjoy them. Chestnuts are enjoyed by most consumers by either roasting them or boiling them. Preferences usually seem to depend on ethnic background, although it is also affected by the recipe being prepared as well as the variety of chestnut being cooked. There are literally hundreds of chestnut recipes available. Rather than attempt to list dozens of them here, we suggest that you visit the collection of recipes at Epicurious.com
