During early AND late fall, many grocery stores AND farmers markets will HAVE bins OF freshly picked chestnuts. Your best picks will BE vibrant brown nuts with a smooth, blemish-free outer surface
that has a bit OF a sheen. Forgo THE chestnuts with cracks AND opt FOR ones that similarly shaped, rounded at THE top with a slight point at THE bottom. Also, choose chestnuts that are firm and
heavy FOR their size.
