It's a hobby for many people to eat chestnuts in autumn and winter, but despite the small chestnuts, it's hard to peel whether they're raw or ripe. Are you afraid to peel them if you want to? Here are some ways to learn!
1. Sugar water immersion method:
The astringent skin of chestnut is difficult to remove. Therefore, before boiling chestnut, soak chestnut in sugar water overnight to remove the astringent skin.
2. Peel chestnut hair with kitchen knife:
Use a kitchen knife to cut a small mouth on each chestnut. If it is soaked in boiling water, you can start from the incision of chestnut for about 1 minute and peel the flesh of chestnut quickly. This is based on the principle that the temperature expansion coefficient of chestnut kernel and skin is different. For example, after the eggs are cooked, they are put into cold water immediately, and it is very easy to peel the shells, which is also the principle.
3. Chestnut skin is easy to peel due to sun exposure:
Put the raw chestnuts to be eaten in the sun for a day, and their shells will crack. In this way, it is easy to peel off the shell and the thin skin inside, whether eaten raw or cooked. The chestnuts to be stored should not be dried, because the cracked chestnuts cannot be preserved for a long time.
