I can't really describe the taste..they are a little on the sweet side but, not sweet...if that makes any sense! LOL...they are not crunchy like a regular nut. I love them...and...they are easy to roast...I just wish I knew if there was some other way to eat them...My Mom makes Chestnut stuffing for Thanksgiving (also a bread stuffing)..I don't eat red meat or pork and she grinds up Jimmy Dean, and the giblets and puts them in the stuffing...The chestnut stuffing is great! of course over the years of making it she adds a little more of this and that to it...she has perfected it!
