PURPOSE:To obtain peeled Japanese chestnuts suitable for Marrons glaces, etc., readily peelable, having a high yield free from loss such as nut crack during boiling in water or flavoring and processing by treating Japanese chestnuts with chestnut burs with a chemical solution and irradiating with microwave. CONSTITUTION:Japanese chestnuts with chestnut burs or Japanese chestnuts from which chestnut burs are completely or incompletely peeled are treated with preferably 0.5-10% aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid. Then the Japanese chestnuts are irradiated with microwave in such a way that the microwave intensity is large at the initial stage and then gradually lowered and then the softened and weakened chestnut burs are peeled to give the objective Japanese chestnuts. |
