Hi Phil, You are able to purchase freeze dried australian chestnut meal from Chestveg 0428 322 959. Please refer to the Chestnut Growers Information Booklet published on the CAI website under Growing Chestnuts/Chestnut Production - General Care regarding use of chemicals......
Hi Peter this is extremely disappointing news. at CAI we are increasingly unhappy with the handling of chestnuts by the major supermarkets. the chestnuts you saw were certainly 2011 crop but there's every chance they were not refrigerated once placed on the shelf, the product dries out extremely quickly unless refrigerated. please keep trying to buy good chestnuts and we suggest the smaller supermarkets and fruiterers as they know what to do with them. you are doing the right thing squeezing chestnuts prior to purchase. kind regards, John Morton
I used to love chestnuts. Why can I not buy anything other than dried out, soft to squeeze, inedible nuts. Coles today. Same as last year. So disappointing. Seems that the product in the shops is last years harvest, certainly not recent crop. Your comments please.

Im from Barcelona and I've moved in Sydney few weeks ago. I would like to know where can I buy chestnuts in Sydney or near by the city.
Thanks!

That are grown in australia.
Do chestnuts require herbicides/pesticides to be grown?
