The color is red, the taste is fragrant, and the weight is good.

The first point: look at the color.

Fresh chestnuts are reddish-brown in color and look particularly shiny. However, if the chestnuts we see are brown or yellow, it means that the chestnuts are broken. Buy them. You can't eat it when you get back, so don't buy it.

Second point: smell.

Chestnuts seem to be different from other foods. Perhaps because of the hard shell, fresh chestnuts have no taste. But if we smell other smells, it is not recommended for everyone to buy such chestnuts, because these chestnuts have been processed.

The third point: weigh the weight.

When we buy chestnuts, we can choose several chestnuts of almost the same size and weigh them in the palm of our hands. Remember to choose those with heavy weight, because these chestnuts are fresh and special. For light chestnuts, the pulp inside usually has no moisture and has dried out, resulting in poor texture and taste.
