Tomei Roasted Chestnuts
808 days agoTime for yet another snack review. This time it is the Tomei Roasted Chestnuts. Never heard of it? Well, same here. I just happened to chance upon it when I was browsing at my local supermarket the other day. As you guys might know by now, I have never been a fan of nuts. Although recent studies and research have shown that nuts are indeed healthy snacks, I never quite enjoyed nuts. Yes, a little peanuts here and there but that is about it. I seldom specifically go out to purchase nuts as food or even as a snack. But with increasing evidence that nuts have a multitude of health benefits, why not start trying them out?
From what I read, Chestnuts contains no cholesterol and very little fat. They also contain a good amount of Vitamin C as well as Iron and Potassium. Other than that, you have to do a little more hard reading. It seems to me that Chinese really enjoy consuming Chestnuts. You can see small stalls selling roasted chestnuts near the bus stops and interchanges. They do smell wonderful when they are roasted.
Tomei Premium Grade Roasted Chestnuts. Look – Premium Grade!
Another view. It comes in an aluminum foil, keeping everything fresh.
Wow, 100% natural, no preservative, no coloring and no seasoning. Which means that if the Chestnuts taste bad, you will know that the Chestnuts themselves are bad.
Peeled & ready to eat! Of course, such snacks should be made as convenient as possible. One of the main reasons people buy such products is due to its convenience. If not, they can just go down stairs to buy the freshly roasted stuff.
The back of the pack.

In my opinion, this taste pretty decent. It could be that I hardly even eaten chestnuts in my life. Semi-sweet taste and surprisingly mild in flavour. And they have this sweet sticky feel to it which I feel is quite nice. But since I have nothing to compare it with…..

Thanks Kate! I hope that everyone will start to improve their diets and really get to live their life to the fullest.
These chesnuts are the closest thing to roasted chesnuts I have ever had. That might sound absurd, but I have had roasted chesnuts years ago in Sicily when i was stationed in the Navy these taste the same if not better. These are Great. I bought a bag today in the store just to try them as I have never seen them in the past in stores. They were just like everyone has said semi-sweet and surprisingly mild in flavor. I immediately went to AMAZON.COM to see if I can buy them there and they are sending me an alert via evail when they are available. I have just finished the bag I bought today and I can’t wait to go buy more when I can as I crave more. They grow on you. Try them you will not be disappointed.
Chestnuts are great and I had them all around the world (the best one in Vienna) but last few years I bought some in different stored but all imported from China and they are awful. I tied many times hoping that it was just a bad box, farm, season… nope I officially gave up there are no good chestnuts grown in china. They are tasteless, smell weird and have dark (mold like) spots. Believe me if you only tasted chestnuts from China you didn’t tested them yet…
