Reese Water Chestnuts Sliced, 8 oz

when you need water chestnuts, these do the job

Really good as a crunchy snack. I needed to find something keto/diabetic friendly to replace chips and crackers. I thought why not water chestnuts? They're great in stir fry, why not alone? An excellent idea, because I love them. Unlike chips, I don't want to eat the whole thing, but feel satiated after 10 or so slices, craving gone. They are almost no carbs, so yay! Not expensive, too, so double yay!

Drain and use in a stir fry of any mix of fresh veggies and add them toward the end. You can also make a wonderful smooth sweet teriyaki sauce by Baby Ray's.

I buy these more because of nostalgia than any other reason. These was a staple ingredient in homemade Chinese food my mom made. Although they are still used in many restaurant dishes, for me it is just the mental upbringing that they belong in homemade Chinese food. They taste awesome. Provide a nice variety to the veggies and have a nice added texture.

when we have Chinese food it seems like there's just not enough water chestnuts in the original order, and we like it so much that we order an extra can. looking forward to have a better variety of vegetables in our chow mein.

To be totally honest, I overlooked this brand several times because the label didn't match what I typically associate with water chestnuts. Since most of my decades-old family recipes are rooted in Asian cuisine, I've always gravitated toward brands with more traditional Asian-inspired packaging. I'm thrilled to say these water chestnuts completely exceeded my expectations! The taste, freshness, crunch factor (“crunchability” should absolutely be a real word), and even the price were all outstanding. Reese Water Chestnuts are now my new go-to ingredient and the secret weapon in many of my favorite recipes. YAY for creating such a stellar product!

Recently use these in a stir-fry(Didn't use the whole can. Just kept the reserve in it's liquid and refrigerated-works fine for me). All(texture, flavor, color and size of slices)were satisfactory. Always nice to have that crunch in a stir-fry or a salad. : ) So YES, I would recommend this product(Don't recall any bad experiences with ANY of the REESE canned products).

The sliced chestnuts were a delight! They were soft and they had a bit of a nutty flavor. Yummy! I added them to my homemade soup. It put a new twist in my already fabulous soup! What I appreciated most was the benefit of the chestnuts already being peeled, pre-cooked and ready to use! What a significant time saver! All of this, really makes the price of these chestnuts a true bargain!

Very disappointed! I NOTICED THE CAN WAS DENTED WHEN I UNPACKED IT. BUT I WAS SHOCKED, as I was about to open it for a recipe, and I noticed the code on the top of the can reads: 4500/0171 12072021 924 1 BEST BY JUL 12 2024

What they do not show you in the picture or items description is: this has a prop 65 warning for lead contamination. I think people should be aware of what they are buying before hand- not after . Show the lead warning Walmart-
