Distinguishing the characteristics of each type of chestnut

The seeds are small, round in shape, not uniform but the corners are quite symmetrical. The shell of Sapa chestnut is dark brown, slightly shiny and is covered by a thin lemon-yellow silk shell.
  • Cao Bang chestnuts: This type of chestnut usually has a round or slightly flattened shape with a moderate size. The seed coat is shiny brown, inside is a pale yellow kernel. The taste of Trung Khanh chestnuts (Cao Bang) is a harmonious combination of sweet, fatty, and characteristic aroma, especially attractive when roasted or baked.
  • Thai chestnuts: Thai chestnuts have a round shape, symmetrical in all corners. The seed coat is dark brown, brighter than other types of chestnuts. The taste of Thai chestnuts is sweeter, accompanied by a slightly sour aftertaste, not too strong.
  • Japanese chestnuts: This is a type of chestnut that has a thick outer shell in earth brown color, inside is an attractive bright yellow kernel. The seeds are spherical, not round and not large in size. The highlight of Japanese chestnuts is their delicious taste, when chewed, they have a crunchy, grainy feel, and a long-lasting mild sweetness.
  • Forest chestnuts: Unpeeled forest chestnuts have a shape quite similar to rambutan fruit with a spiky outer shell. Inside the hard dark brown shell is a lemon-yellow kernel covered by a thin layer of fluff. In addition, the seeds are usually small in size but have a delicious, fatty taste.

Secrets to choosing delicious chestnuts

To fully enjoy the delicious, fatty taste of chestnuts, you can rely on the following selection secrets:

  • Observe the color of the seed coat: Delicious chestnuts usually have a bright brown, shiny shell, look fresh and not dull. In particular, fresh and delicious chestnuts will have very clear fluff on the shell.
  • Check the kernel: Quality chestnut kernels when peeled will have a characteristic aroma, off-white color and no strange black spots.
  • Shake the seeds: You can hold the chestnuts in your hand and shake them gently. If you hear a clear sound, it is an old chestnut, when processed, it will give a more delicious, fatty taste.
  • Note when buying fresh chestnuts: Fresh chestnuts usually can only be stored for a maximum of about 10 days in normal conditions. Therefore, when buying fresh chestnuts, you should choose carefully, avoid buying flat, damaged seeds.

How to preserve chestnuts for a long time

To preserve the freshness and delicious taste of chestnuts for a long time, you need to have an appropriate preservation method:

  • Store in a cool, dry place: Fresh chestnuts should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This method helps keep chestnuts fresh for about 7-10 days.
  • Use cloth bags or bamboo baskets: Chestnuts can be stored in cloth bags or bamboo baskets to ensure ventilation and limit mold growth. This method also helps preserve chestnuts for about 7-10 days.
  • Store in the refrigerator: For longer storage, you can wash, dry the chestnuts, put them in a vacuum-sealed zip bag and store them in the refrigerator compartment for about 2 weeks. In addition, you can also boil the chestnuts briefly, drain the water, and then store them in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
  • Dry the chestnuts: Fresh chestnuts can be dried in the sun for 3-4 days, then stored in a vacuum-sealed zip bag, placed in a wooden box lined with sand to prevent mold.
