Our indoor freckled chestnut grow kits is a stunning example of a mushroom with small rounded brown caps, bits of the veil often stick to the cap after it has opened. It is a slower mushroom to mature which makes it exciting to watch grow.
Chestnuts have a unique make up similar to shiitake, after the cooking process it maintains it’s firm/crunchy texture and plays well in cream sauces. Chestnuts have notes of a peppery finish and mild nutty earthy flavour, your kitchen will smell absolutely divine while frying!
