Is sweet chestnut edible?

Do rabbits eat sweet chestnuts?

If so, are the chestnuts edible?

Answer

Dear Daphne,

Sweet chestnuts are indeed edible. By the way, these are the chestnuts that are for sale in the store or on the market. Rabbits may also eat chestnuts.

Wild chestnuts, on the other hand, are not edible.

Best regards,

Jan
