Fresh Chestnuts are a seasonal delight, offering a sweet, nutty flavour and creamy texture that make them perfect for roasting, baking, and festive cooking. Ideal for stuffing, soups, or even desserts, these chestnuts are versatile and packed with autumnal warmth. Their smooth shells and glossy finish signal freshness, making them a must-have during colder months or special occasions.

Naturally rich in fibre, vitamins C and B6, and antioxidants, chestnuts are a healthier alternative to other nuts due to their lower fat content. They’re gluten-free and ideal for plant-based diets, offering both flavour and nourishment. When roasted, they become tender and slightly sweet, making them a comforting addition to winter dishes or a stand-alone snack.

Store chestnuts in a cool, dry place or refrigerate for longer shelf life. Before cooking, score the shells with a knife to prevent them from bursting while roasting. Boiling or baking are also great preparation methods, and peeled chestnuts can be frozen for later use in purées or soups.
