Harvested in Uttarakhand, Chestnuts make for an easy-to-use ingredient that's also nutritious! Unlike most other nuts, chestnuts contain little protein or fat and chiefly provide complex carbs. Their soft, buttery texture is different from other nuts and starches, making them a unique ingredient.
Elevate your culinary creations with our chestnuts! Roasting is a popular choice; make a small "X" mark slit on the rounded side to prevent them from bursting, then roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20–30 minutes. Peeling them while they are warm is easier. Simply eat your roasted chestnuts with a sprinkle of salt and a squeeze of lemon.
Alternatively, add roasted chestnuts to stuffing, risottos, or desserts for a rich, nutty twist. Enjoy the warm and comforting flavors of our chestnuts in your favorite dishes!
Sweet Treats: Incorporate chestnuts into desserts like cakes, tarts, or mousse for a delightful nutty twist.
