Chestnuts - (500g or 1kg)

Chestnuts are the edible nuts of trees belonging to the Castanea family. Protected by a distinctive prickly shell, the nuts inside have a naturally sweet, mildly nutty flavour and a soft, satisfying texture when prepared. They are especially popular during the cooler months and can be enjoyed in a wide variety of sweet and savoury recipes.

Chestnuts can be roasted or boiled and are also delicious when added to soups, stuffing, desserts, baked dishes, and other seasonal recipes. Roasting brings out their natural sweetness and makes them a simple snack to enjoy on their own.
