TruStar Organic Italian Chestnuts, Peeled, Ready-to-eat, 3.5oz Pouch (Pack of 12)

This is the second time ordering these chestnuts and they are great!

The best packaged chestnuts I've tasted. It costs an "arm & a leg" (due to shipping cost) to order fresh organic chestnuts from California.These organic roasted and peeled organic chestnuts from Italy are so convenient, too... no more hard, rotten ones that you invariably get when buying fresh ones. The price is reasonable; a packet is about $3+ - a lot better in quality than those dark, wet ones from China. These are great for snacking, but I will save a couple of packets to make Mary Berry's Christmas chestnut stuffing/dressing.I was amazed at the fast shipping; it was delivered many days before Amazon's promised date. I highly recommend this product and will definitely be buying again.

Tasty and easy to use as a snack or to enhance recipes.

Seems like this year quality is not the same as last year.

Received these chestnuts today, fresh, packaged perfectly and arrived undamaged. Been on a littlechestnut kick lately, have ordered several different bands that were, soft, dark, soaking wet and had very little flavoras a chestnut.These are the most " next to roasting them yourselt " chestnut that I have ever purchased . They werelight in color ( the way a fresh roasted chestnut is supposed to look ) and most of all WASN'T WET in somesugared liquid wash. LIstened to the TRUTH very closely, THEY TASTED LIKE YOU HAD ROASTED THEMYOURSELF and took the shell off and enjoyed them.These, I put in a small pan and heated them in a 325 degree oven for 10 minuted. This is why they lookedand tasted just as you made them. The only reward that I get from writing detailed reviews, are to help peopefrom getting screwed by SOME sellers. I am telling you the truth and pure facts concerning this product.If you like fresh roasted chestnuts, you'll NOT be disappointed with these. All in all, they are a fair pricefor the amount and quality you receive. If you buy a pound of chestnuts in the shell for 6.99, by the timeyou shell and roast them, you may have 5 ounces of edible chestnuts, not counting your labor. I willbe purchasing more. If you crave fresh roasted chestnuts, order youself several bags...Check the price for 1 pound of fresh chestnuts in the shell: 14.99. By the time you prepare them to eat,you'll have about 5 to 6 ounces to eat...02-15-20:Well, I made a true honest comment about the fair price of the chestnuts. I bought quite a few bags for32.99 ( Fair Price, considering ). Now they have raised the price to 42.99. Full 10 dollar gouge, overnight.They can keep them, I'll NOT purchase anymore. Gouged themselves right out of a vast amount of buyer's,I would say. LET 'UM ROT...07-31-20:Well, guess what, they can sell these chestnuts at the price 32.99 again. I have bought more at the firstoriginal price at 32.99. None for me at 42.99. The price of 32.99 are a plenty for 12-3.5 oz packs.Still the best chestnut that I have ever ate, other than roasting them myself... Thought you might wantto know...

These chestnuts are really good: plump, moist, and completely shelled with no straggling bits of shell or thin inner skin. Buying twelve at a time may seem like a lot, but at that volume the price is actually reasonable for good Italian chestnuts. I highly recommend these.

Only drawback is that it takes quite some time to arrive but that said, the stuff is delicious ! Ordered again, came faster, so maybe it was a something else.It is always a terrible annoyance to peel chestnuts when you cook at home, they are very crumbly. I have no idea how they these get in the bag, mostly intact - some are broken, but it's all fine -I have one of those cutters that make an 'x' but it marginally helped... still, gonna try a couple times more with different ways to finish the chestnuts, but meanwhile, these are my go-to :-)

The box received only contained 10 bags of chestnuts. It should have been 12.GoNutsForFruit offered to ship a replacement. I accepted the offer to resolve the issue.However, to date I have not received any notification as to the status of their offer.I will update this review in the future pending on what happens.
