Whole Water Chestnuts - 8 oz
Our water chestnuts bring a mild, nutty-sweet taste and a crisp crunch to your favorite appetizers, salads or entrees! We pack them whole, so you can slice, dice or chop them to fit the dish.
- Just three ingredients: water chestnuts, water and citric acid.
- Certified kosher and non-GMO.
- Shelf-stable, so a can keeps in the pantry at room temperature until you need it.
Add an easy, exotic flair to any recipe! Water chestnuts are a staple of Asian cooking and hold their crunch even after cooking, which makes them a natural fit for stir-fries, lettuce wraps and fried rice. They're perfect for appetizers too. Drain them, give them a quick rinse, then slice them into rounds or chop them small.
Each can holds 8 oz (226 g), with 5 oz (141 g) of water chestnuts once drained. Product of China.
At Reese, we've been about quality since 1947.
Ingredients: WATER CHESTNUTS, WATER, CITRIC ACID.
Common Questions
What can I add to a stir-fry to keep it crunchy?
Water chestnuts are the classic answer, and our Reese Whole Water Chestnuts are made for it. They stay crisp in a hot wok or a simmering sauce, while vegetables like peppers and bok choy soften. They bring a mild, nutty-sweet taste and a crisp crunch to stir-fries, salads, appetizers and other entrees, and they suit Asian cuisine in particular. Because ours are packed whole, you can slice them into coins, cut them into matchsticks or dice them small for fillings like lettuce wraps and dumplings.
Are canned water chestnuts as good as fresh ones?
For most home cooking, canned water chestnuts like our Reese Whole Water Chestnuts are the practical choice. Fresh water chestnuts can be hard to find outside Asian markets and have to be peeled before use. Canned ones come peeled, cooked and ready to use. Fresh ones taste a little sweeter, but canned ones still give the crunch most recipes are after. Ours are packed in water with citric acid and are shelf-stable, so you can keep cans in the pantry at room temperature until a recipe calls for them. A quick rinse before using takes away any canned taste.
What exactly is a water chestnut?
Despite the name, a water chestnut isn't a nut. It's the corm of an aquatic sedge that grows in marshes and paddies, and it's widely used in Chinese and other Asian cooking. The white flesh is crisp and juicy, with a mild sweetness. Reese Whole Water Chestnuts are these corms, packed whole in water with citric acid, and we describe the flavor as mild and nutty-sweet.
How many water chestnuts do I actually get in a can of Reese Whole Water Chestnuts?
Each can of Reese Whole Water Chestnuts has a net weight of 8 oz (226 g) and a drained weight of 5 oz (141 g). The 5 oz drained weight is the amount of water chestnuts you have left after pouring off the packing liquid, so that's the figure to use when a recipe calls for a weight of water chestnuts.
What are the ingredients in Reese Whole Water Chestnuts, and are they kosher and non-GMO?
Reese Whole Water Chestnuts contain three ingredients: water chestnuts, water and citric acid. The ingredient list contains no major food allergens. The citric acid helps keep the flavor and color stable in the can. They're certified kosher, and we declare them non-GMO. They're a product of China.
How do I store Reese Whole Water Chestnuts before and after opening?
Unopened cans of Reese Whole Water Chestnuts are shelf-stable and keep at room temperature, so they belong in the pantry. Once a can is open, move any leftover water chestnuts to a covered container, cover them with fresh water and refrigerate them. Use them within a few days, changing the water daily to keep them fresh.
