The first point: look at the color.

Fresh chestnut, its color is reddish brown, and its appearance looks particularly shiny, but if the chestnut we see is brown or yellow, it means that the chestnut has been broken and can't be eaten after buying it, so don't buy it.

Second: smell it.

Chestnuts seem different from other foods. Probably because the shell is hard, fresh chestnut has no taste. But if you smell other flavors, it is not recommended to buy such chestnuts, because these chestnuts are all processed.

The third point: weigh the weight.

When we buy chestnuts, we can choose a few chestnuts of similar size and weigh them in our hands. Remember to choose the heavy ones, because these chestnuts are relatively fresh, and those chestnuts that are particularly light generally have no water to dry the pulp and taste bad.
