Why is chestnut prone to insects?
At the beginning of chestnut flowering, insects lay eggs in newly formed fruits. Because the new fruit looks tender, insects can easily penetrate it. After a period of growth, the fruit matures and the seed coat heals, so there will be no trace on the appearance of chestnut. When the picked chestnuts are kept at suitable temperature and humidity for a period of time, the eggs will slowly develop and grow into larvae, which will lead to chestnut worms growing out of them.

Chestnut contains more water and sugar, and is rich in various nutrients, so it is very popular with insects. When chestnuts blossom and bear fruit, insects will lay eggs in new fruits. Because the new fruit looks tender, insects can easily penetrate it. After a period of growth, the fruit matures and the seed coat heals, so there will be no trace on the appearance of chestnut. When the picked chestnuts are kept at suitable temperature and humidity for a period of time, the eggs slowly develop into larvae, which produces the simple and practical effect of chestnut worms that we see. It is really too limited to rely on one person's strength and cognition for anything. We know that delicious chestnuts don't grow late, but flying insects will lay eggs on them when they bloom, and when chestnuts mature, the insects will grow up and crawl inside.

Simple, practical and effective, there is always one for you!

This method is generally regarded as the best method, which is similar to the method shared by Yue Yue before, but requires one more step. After buying chestnut, spread it in a cool and ventilated place, let it blow for 3-4 days, then wash it, cook it in a water pot for 3-4 minutes, cook it until it is half cooked, then take it out and dry it at room temperature, then seal it in a fresh-keeping bag and freeze it in the refrigerator, so that it will not go bad no matter how long it is kept.

This second method is more suitable for preserving the freshest chestnuts. Fresh chestnuts just picked, the fresher the better. It's best to peel chestnuts, not peel them, not dry them, and put them in bags and put them in the refrigerator for the New Year. A considerable number of netizens also think this method is good, but now chestnuts are peeled and picked in advance for sale, and I don't know if they are fresh or not when I buy them back.
