🗓 Season: September · October
🔍 When is it ripe?
Chestnut: Spiny green burs split open to reveal 2–3 shiny brown chestnuts. Gather from the ground after they fall. Must be cooked (roasted, boiled, or ground into flour) — toxic raw in large quantities. Peel the papery inner skin after cooking.
Sweet chestnut: European chestnuts: burs split on the tree in September–October. Collect from the ground daily. Cook before eating — roast, boil, or dry and grind. Score the flat side before roasting to prevent explosion.
Huge, well known tree. There are others near by if you're willing to take a walk. Pretty well foraged, sometimes the people who live there host work parties in the fall to clean up after the harvest
