Japanese Salt Biscuit

Roasted chestnuts have a nutty flavour with a hint of sweetness that is incredibly delicious. They do not have the sweetness to be cloying, which makes them an excellent addition to a variety of meals or even a healthy snack. Biting into a roasted chestnut is similar to biting into a savoury baked potato, although roasted chestnuts are not flaky at all. They are creamy, soft and buttery and surprisingly tender due to the harder shell.

STORAGE

Roasted chestnuts can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you are unsure about the shelf life, you can also store them in the freezer or even puree them to make wonderful desserts.

FUN FACTS & TIPS

Although sugary foods and caffeinated drinks can give you a brief energy boost, their effects are short-lived and worse, they can leave you feeling constantly tired and drained after the initial effects wear off. Swap them out for chestnuts! They are a healthier alternative that improves concentration. Whether you are studying for exams at school, learning new skills at work, or just relaxing with a nice book.
