✅ Why choose boiled chestnuts?
Boiled chestnuts are a true natural delight:
They have a sweet and delicate flavor that pairs well with both savory and sweet dishes.
They are lighter and more digestible than roasted chestnuts.
They retain more nutrients, such as fiber, potassium, and vitamins B and C.
They are gluten-free, making them perfect for those with intolerances or following a grain-free diet.
And, above all, they smell of autumn, home, and simplicity.

🍽 Ideas for enjoying them
Once ready, you can enjoy them in many different ways:
On their own, as a warm and healthy snack with a cup of tea.
Seasoned with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and rosemary for a rustic and fragrant side dish.
Added to soups or creamed soups for a creamy, autumnal touch.
Used in desserts: think of a chestnut cream, a tart filling, or a soft and fragrant cake.
> 🍯 Fun fact: in some regions of Italy, boiled chestnuts are called « ballotte » and served with a glass of new wine. A tradition that combines flavor and conviviality.

❤️ A little final tip
Boiled chestnuts can be stored in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for 2-3 days.
To enjoy them again, simply steam or microwave them for a few minutes: they will be soft as if they were freshly made.
