A present from a friend. My husband's friend , he picked up these chestnuts when he was hiking in a mountain.

Some of the chestnuts in Korea are very big.....

Autumn is the harvest season for chestnuts. In Korea, if you go to the mountains in autumn, you may have a chance to pick  up the chestnuts.....

   在韩国，若在秋季登山，往往可以在山上捡到已爆裂落地的栗子。
   栗子可以煮，烤，炒等多种方法食用，也可以用来做糕点面包。记得小时候，在街边常有小贩在炒栗子售卖。原来这是糖炒栗子，用糖色和沙子混合，将变成黑色的沙子和栗子混合炒，一是是栗子受热均匀，二是使栗子的糖分不容易损失。。
