You can find some examples of serving suggestions below this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many countries, edible chestnuts are commercially available in the fall. In the wild, you can find edible chestnuts and poisonous ones (<em>Aesculus hippocastanum<\/em>).  The poisonous chestnuts can be used to produce soap. Care should be taken to not confuse these two chestnut varieties. Luckily they are quite easy to distinguish. We summarised key differences in the table below: leaves, shells, and nuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><img decoding=\"async\"
