This bag contains 1 lb fresh chestnuts. It contains between 32-40 nuts. Most chestnuts you buy from the store are shipped from China or Italy and are not kept refrigerated so they dry out. Dunstan Chestnuts are an American-Chinese hybrid that keeps the best characteristics of American Chestnuts that were wiped out by a blight at the turn of the century. Just put them in a pot of water and remove from heat when it comes to a boil. This makes the shells easier to score with a knife so they don't blow up when you roast them. You can roast them in your oven at 350 for 20-30 minutes. They should split wide where you scored them. Additional information: TO STORE FRESH CHESTNUTS Because chestnuts are high in carbohydrate, they must be kept in refrigeration and will spoil if kept out at room temperature. Store in a breathable (paper) or open plastic grocery bag in the vegetable bin of the refrigerator. If stored this way they should last for 2-3 months. Do not store in a closed zip lock bag, as they will mold. They get sweeter if you leave them on your counter for 2-3 days before you use them.
