How to peel Roasted chestnuts in sugar-coated heated sand when they are cold

When the Roasted chestnuts in sugar-coated heated sand are cool, they can be heated in the microwave oven or peeled after re frying. The shell of Roasted chestnuts in sugar-coated heated sand becomes hard after cooling. The main reasons for the difficulty in peeling are shell shrinkage, sugar solidification, water loss, etc.

The shell of Roasted chestnuts in sugar-coated heated sand is tightly adhered to the pulp after cooling, and direct peeling will easily lead to pulp fragmentation. Put the cold chestnuts in the microwave and heat them on high heat. The shell will expand and become brittle again when heated, and the sugar will soften, making it easier to peel. The heating time should not be too long to avoid the fruit pulp being too dry and affecting the taste. After heating the chestnuts, let them cool slightly until they are no longer hot to the touch. Use your thumb and index finger to gently squeeze the ends of the chestnuts, and the shell will naturally crack open.

Cold chestnuts can also be stir fried over low heat in a flat bottomed pan to allow the sugar in the shell to melt again. When stir frying, keep flipping to avoid burning, and turn off the heat when the outer shell is slightly shiny. Under the action of heat, chestnuts produce steam inside, which can effectively separate the outer shell from the flesh. After stir frying, chestnuts should be wrapped in a clean towel and gently kneaded. Use the remaining heat to further separate the shell from the flesh. This method can preserve more of the original chestnut aroma, but attention should be paid to controlling the heat.

When peeling chestnuts, you can first use a knife to make shallow marks on the shell, and then heat it up to peel along the cracks, making it easier. It is recommended to choose Roasted chestnuts in sugar-coated heated sand with intact shells and no cracks, which will be easier to keep the flesh intact after cooling. Chestnuts are rich in starch and dietary fiber, and proper consumption will help to supplement energy, but diabetes patients need to control their intake. The peeled chestnuts can be stewed with ingredients such as yam and red dates to increase nutrition and promote digestion and absorption.
