raw water chestnuts are actually really good... crunchy and sweet... after you peel them of course,

but if I'm not mistaken, there is also a high risk of contracting a parasite if you eat them raw.

I always ate them as a kid with my mother. I loved them! I just bought some today, and I'm trying to find a better way to open them than biting them in half! Hard on the teeth!

Yes!
