Taste

Báo Cao Bằng on 22 March 2023 says the roasted kernel is nutty, sweet, and aromatic. The 1 September 2026 article uses the same three words for the autumn nut.

How to enjoy it

Eat it roasted or boiled on the eastern road in autumn, and buy a bag as a gift to carry home. The same nut goes into chestnut green rice, ham hock stew, and chestnut wine.
