Every Christmas Eve it's a tradition for us to roast chestnuts. I love chestnuts, but they seem to be a seasonal item in our local grocery store. This year, our local grocery store had these Guiltless chestnuts ready to eat. I wasn't willing to try these so I had to ask for the traditional chestnuts.
I called him and said it's so funny because I saw these but wasn't willing to try them.
He proceeded to tell me, how good they were, and how easy because they were all ready peeled, and ready to eat right out of the bag.
These ready-to-eat chestnuts save you all the trouble of cutting, roasting, and peeling traditional chestnuts.
My cousin found these on sale and sent me a box to try, and he was right they are so good and easy. You don't have to worry about burning your fingers while trying to peel traditional chestnuts right out of the oven.
Chestnuts have a naturally sweet, earthy, flavor and soft, starchy texture. Chestnuts are often overlooked in favor of other nuts.
Chestnuts have impressive nutritional benefits. They are lower in fat and calories while being rich in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. Chestnuts are also naturally gluten-free.

You can find guiltless chestnuts on Amazon and enjoy them all year long
This does seem to be an easy way to enjoy roasted chestnuts. Thanks, Sam.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Pat. They are really good without all of the work to prepare them.
DeleteThese look so good, Sam! I love hot, freshly roasted chestnuts (we used to buy them from street vendors in NYC before I moved away) and they’re a fair amount of effort to prepare and she’ll at home. These sound like a great alternative!
ReplyDeleteFor sure, these are so easy and good right out of the bag. Although, I do like them warm. You put these in the oven for a few minutes or in the micro wave for only 10 seconds and they are warm.
