Typical of the autumn season, the chestnuts they are a concentrate of health, rich in iron and folic acid. Chestnuts are the fruit of the chestnut, with very interesting properties and an essential food for our well-being. But how keep them for a long time?
How to store raw chestnuts:
• In the freezer
Preliminarily, before storing raw chestnuts it is necessary to select the best and intact chestnuts. An ancient method indicates leaving the chestnuts to soak for several days (at least 4 days) and changing the water every day: those that emerge, remaining afloat, are to be discarded.
At this point they should be cleaned well with a damp cloth and engraved with a knife on the rounded part.
Subsequently, seal them hermetically in a special freezer bag, or in a container with a vacuum valve. Freeze them at a temperature of about -20 ° C.
This process allows chestnuts to be kept for a very long time, even for 12 months.
Preservation is best if the chestnuts are vacuum-sealed, then placed in the freezer.
• In the fridge

Then, close them in a food bag and place them in the refrigerator (in the vegetable drawers) at a temperature that does not exceed 3 ° C.
This process allows chestnuts to be stored for up to 2 months.
How to store cooked chestnuts:

If you prefer to keep the chestnuts already cooked, you can cook them as roasted or boiled chestnuts, then let them cool, dry and finally freeze them (temperature of about -20 ° C) in special food bags or airtight containers (if you have roasted them, remove the peel) . They will keep for a maximum of 5 months.
