Shelled Chestnuts
Our chestnuts are grown in the Yanshan Mountain region of the Hebei province of China, which is historically known as the region producing the best chestnuts in the world. Experts are sent there every year to trace and inspect the growth.
Absolutely no pesticides - just fresh, clean water
There are no pesticides, chemical fertilizer or food additives added during the growing and production process. The chestnuts are sprayed with fresh, clean water only.
