Fresh Michigan Chestnuts

No genetically modified chestnut trees were used in the production of our chestnuts; always natural.

Michigan-Grown Chestnuts are the Sweetest Tasting chestnuts and remain a flavorful Gluten-Free food that is a treat for everyone.

People with wheat allergies, such as Celiac Disease, may benefit from this tasteful addition to their diet, while Vegetarians and Vegans alike will enjoy the unique recipes that can be made from this sunshine-created food.

Chestnuts contain proteins and have the lowest fat content of any edible nut. Chestnuts are full of vitamins, B-complexes including folates, and many minerals. Chestnuts have always been and will always remain an excellent food.

Those looking for an all-natural product with no preservatives will find chestnut to be an excellent food.

They are a good source of fiber and the few fats they have are known to be a rich source of mono-unsaturated fatty acids, which help lower total LDL (bad cholesterol) and increase HDL (good cholesterol).

Chestnuts are relatively low in calories when compared to other natural seeds and nuts. Browse our product line to learn more about our Michigan-grown chestnuts.

We found a chestnut weevil tonight in a bur. We tried tapping the limbs, but a corn/soybean farmer friend actually took a bur in his hand and separated the spines, and found one. Here it is, greatly enlarged, as in reality, it was only about 1/8" long. You can see its eyes - looks like black holes in the first picture. ... See MoreSee Less

This is the culprit we'll all be looking for, tapping limbs to have them fall out onto a light-colored sheet and FIND ANY!!! They don't hang onto the bur and fall out, playing dead, but they're not. This female chestnut weevil is very hard to find!! Find some neighborhood kids to help spot them on the sheet you put down. Make a game out of it and see who can capture the most. Maybe you won't find any, yet, this fall, if larvae crawl out of your chestnuts, you will know you have had this lady visiting your chestnut tree this past August. The commercial traps for sale don't really work for us, and the limb-tapping method may be the best one out there for ID'ing if they are present in your orchard. She uses her snout to burrow through the green bur, through the chestnut shell, through the pellicle inside the shell, and finally deposits her eggs by turning around and depositing her eggs from out her backside into the hole she’s made with her snout, into the chestnut nut-meat. This is the time to start looking for these females. Her body is only 1/4" long and her snout is also about 1/4" long and when she crawls inside the green soft bur, you'll have a hard time spotting her, but you may be able to "tap" her out. Good luck! ... See MoreSee Less
