Extra national chestnuts are native to Galicia and are highly valued for their unique flavor and health benefits. These chestnuts have a shiny brown color and pale yellowish-white flesh and can be consumed fresh, roasted, or boiled. They can be used in various culinary preparations, including baking. Their nutritional content is notable, providing 179 kcal per 100 grams, as well as fiber, potassium, and B vitamins. We recommend preparing them roasted or boiled, perhaps with some anise seeds to enhance their flavor. The chestnut season runs from October to December, with the best specimens available in November and December. You can enjoy these fresh chestnuts in Halloween packs, perfect for this season.
