Preparing chestnuts is easier than you think!
Here’s exactly how I cut and prepare them before they go in the airfryer. Get this step right, and they practically peel themselves!
No struggle, no mess, just perfectly cooked chestnuts every time.
Will you try this and let me know how you go?
Want a fruiting lychee tree? 🍒
Thanh the Fruit Nerd met expert grower Dave Crowhurst and his family who have been growing lychees for three decades.
Have you used the air layering technique? It's a reliable way to keep great fruit going, and something you can try at home too. It also works well for pecans, figs, pears, camellias, magnolias and azaleas 🌿
