I just bought some Chestnuts from my local Whole Foods and was wondering if anyone knew if these were raw, or if there is any reason not to eat un-roasted chestnuts. I have been incorporating "warming" and cooked foods into my diet for the cold winter season and have found that a roasted chestnut definitely does the trick :) I ate a few of these right out of the shell and they tasted a little sweet but rather bland...
