Why doesn't Migros sell dried chestnuts? Unfortunately, they are only available fresh, frozen or cooked.
Hello Mesto, do you already know our Alnatura ready-to-eat chestnuts, article number 1052.664? You can get these in larger Migros branches. Best regards, Susi
Do they no longer exist? 😳 We used to buy them a lot.

Where are they dried? Would rather fall under "cooked".
Boiled - not fried - and then dried ? Childhood memories come flooding back... we used to call these products available in the grocery store "Chischtene". They were rock hard for a child's mouth :-) and then slowly became soft in the mouth due to the saliva. In my mother's kitchen, they were added to red cabbage before cooking.

Hello Bodenseeknusperli, you're right. The chestnuts are peeled, cooked and ready to eat. We don't offer dried chestnuts in our range, but our recommended product is a good alternative for snacking. Alnatura chestnuts can be found in our dried fruit / nuts range. Kind regards, Susi

Exactly, we always called them "Chischtene" 😍

They were called Chischtene here too! I think you had to soak them first. It's probably no longer a modern product.

Depending on the spelling, you will find more or less hits - I found the most results with the Google term "Chestene". Recipes can be found there and one thing became clear to me: you can no longer buy them ready-prepared, but you can prepare them yourself depending on the recipe, as the following recipe shows: https://www.swissmilk.ch/de/rezepte-kochideen/rezepte/BK_VWSS2001_048/schwynigs-ond-cheschtenae/ Point 2. under Preparation shows the procedure for this example!
