Both chestnuts are better stored frozen and refrigerated.

1. Frozen storage

Chestnuts can be frozen in the refrigerator, and the taste of chestnuts is still better, but the sweetness will also be reduced. Chestnuts that have not been frozen are crisper and softer in taste, so they should not be refrigerated for too long. Because the refrigerator has a high humidity, if chestnuts are stored in the refrigerator for a long time, they should be taken out frequently for ventilation.

2. Refrigerated storage

Putting raw chestnuts in the refrigerator is a common storage method. Before storing, make sure the outside of the chestnuts is clean and free of dirt. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and make sure the chestnuts are completely dry. Store chestnuts refrigerated in an airtight container or plastic bag to prevent air and moisture from entering. Raw chestnuts can usually be stored refrigerated for 1 to 2 weeks.

Characteristics of chestnut

Chestnut is a kind of nut, oval or round in shape, with small ridges on the surface, and is brown or reddish brown. Chestnuts are rich in nutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. Chestnuts have a unique taste, a sweetness and aroma that are perfect for desserts and pastries. In addition, the texture of chestnuts is relatively hard and requires prior processing before consumption.

In addition to China, chestnuts are also traditional ingredients in many other countries and regions. For example, the Ardèche region in France uses chestnuts as the main ingredient to produce cakes, snacks and wines with rich characteristics. In addition, chestnuts are a traditional Thanksgiving food in many parts of Europe and North America.
