Where can I get packaged, cooked chestnuts in Brooklyn?

My wife bought some a while ago but can't remember were. Didn't find them at the Red Hook Fairway or Whole Foods.

TIA

Thanks all, picked some up at Sahadi

Whole Foods in SoCal has them in jars. It's a seasonal item and the season is coming up so if you looked again you might find them.

Good luck!

I saw frozen ones at Trader Joes...

They have asian vacuum-packed ones at the Met supermarket on smith street near the checkout.

I have seen cooked chestnuts in Chinese supermarkets around the city. It's usually a small bag (6-8 oz) for around a dollar.

Yes, the chestnuts are usually small in size and the meat is a rather darker colored brown than you're used to seeing (on most). They are completely shelled, and great tasting. I was pleasantly surprised and I think you'll be too.

GREat, is there a specific chinese market you've seen them at?

[Cheese Boy]

That I can't help you with because I buy them wherever I happen to be. I don't remember where I bought them last, but *most* Asian markets will have them.
Try markets in Chinatown (Manhattan), or markets in Flushing (Queens). Also,
check out the Brooklyn link I've included below.

Try Sahadi. They have chestnuts in various guises.
