Chestnuts on fire

Has anyone seen pre-peeled chestnuts (frozen or fresh, not canned) for sale in Portland? No luck at New Seasons Concordia and Whole Foods Fremont so far.

      I don't know about PDX, but you can find them in Asian markets. They are already peeled and vacuum sealed. I eat these occasionally as a snack. They just in the aisles.

        The answer turned out to be Trader Joe's for anyone else who is interested! Peeled and steamed for about $4. Whew.

            I'd check the asian markets for frozen (and possibly fresh too) like FuBonn, Uwajimaya, etc.
