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

Very delicious. I just eat them from the bag.

So I really wanted to try chestnuts and I couldn’t find them at the grocery store so I bought these little packs.you get three little packs and there’s maybe like 15 to 20 little peeled wet chestnuts inside the bag.If you’ve never had Chestnut, they’re very meaty. Like I would never be a vegan, but if all my fake meat products were made with chestnut, I think I could do it.It was weird when I first open these and they were wet. Most not products I buy are dry, so I don’t know if that’s normal for chestnuts or not because he definitely chestnuts have eaten.We chopped some up and put them in a pie crust and I also sliced some and sautéed them with brussels sprouts. They take on the flavor of whatever you’re cooking and the texture is delicious. Highly recommend.

I was so disappointed ! I remember eating chestnuts by the fireplace when I was a little girl ! I loved them ! I didn’t have them for many years and then I found them on Amazon ! I was so excited ! Well, they arrived today1-29-25 . What a sad disappointment ! They were very small, about the size of a nickel. Absolutely no flavor ! If I closed my eyes , I would not be able to identify what I was eating . Don’t waste your money . I’ll try a different brand .😔

I honestly can not recall the last time I had fresh Chestnuts. I ordered these to make a recipe in Jamie Olives' new book: One: Simple One-Pan Wonders.The book is fantastic!I didn't know what to expect from fresh Chestnuts. Wow, I was pleasantly surprised. They added a wonderful Earthly and meaty flavor to the dish.Pros:- Fresh- Soft- DeliciousCons:- Not available as a single package.- A little pricey for such a small quantitySummary:These fresh Chestnuts were worth the money and added a wonderful depth of flavor to the dish. Oh, the name of the dish was "Christmas Pasta." I recomend the Chestnuts, the book and the recipe.

UPDATE Jan 2023Running 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!)

Item was as described and delivered promptly.

Not too sugary, pleasant mouth feel, good size nuts. Now my favorite snack.

Not what I expected! Thought they would be more like peanuts but are moist/softer and have a distinct flavor!
