Product Characteristics

1. Type of Chestnuts:

   • Fresh/Dried: If fresh, they may be sold in season (fall/winter) and require cooking (boiling, roasting). Dried chestnuts are shelf-stable and often used in desserts or snacks.
   • Preserved: Some varieties are candied (in syrup) or salted, which alters their shelf life and nutritional profile.
   • Packaging: Commonly sold in:
     • Loose bulk (e.g., 500g–1kg bags).
     • Pre-packaged (e.g., 200g–500g vacuum-sealed or paper bags).
     • Canned/jarred (less common for "enteras," but possible for candied versions).

2. Nutritional Highlights (per 100g, approximate):

   • Calories: ~200 kcal (higher in dried or candied versions).
   • Carbohydrates: ~40g (mostly starch).
