What the longest i could keep them in their shells without refrigerator do you think. I found a bowl full today out walking but i think in the past when I've found some they ended up going bad. I hate to do that but I defo dont want to eat them all. I was hoping to go back for some more to last through winter but again dont want to waste them. Have you ever frozen them after cooking? I have more freezer space available. Would love to hear some of the ways you use them xx

An Indian Himalayan variety of horse chestnut is Aesculous indica. It belongs to sapindaceae. Its seed is dried and ground to make flour which is bitter. It has to be washed in water to remove the bitterness and then made into flat bread called chapati. The sweet chestnut doesn’t grow in India.
