Finally chestnut time again! You can read why you can take a sack of chestnuts more often in our trends.
Now they are back on every corner: Freshly roasted chestnuts in the Stanitzel-like packaging. If you like to eat the candy, grab it! Chestnuts are a blessing, especially in the cold season. And so healthy!
100 grams of chestnuts contain less than two grams of fat and are full of valuable carbohydrates, high-quality protein, minerals and vitamins. They are suitable as a snack, but also for the preparation of game dishes and go very well in sweets and desserts.
If you buy the crunchy powerhouses in the supermarket, they are usually very hard and have to be roasted first. We’ll give you a few tips on how to prepare chestnuts quickly and easily at home.
Chestnuts
So that you can peel off the chestnuts afterwards, you should scratch them. You can do this with a knife, but a chestnut knife like this is better.

Multi roaster
Uncooked chestnuts are not edible. They can be boiled or roasted, although they probably taste a little better when roasted. After scratching the skin, you should soak the chestnuts in the water for about 20 minutes. Then place the chestnuts either on a baking sheet or in a multi-roaster like this one. After about 30-40 minutes, the chestnuts should be done, crispy on the outside and creamy soft on the inside.
