Snapshots from Asia: Chestnuts 'Wokking' Over an Open Fire

I just bought some in Little Saigon here in Garden Grove, CA, and for $5 I got an 8-ounce bag, and she threw in two of those little tools.
These are GREAT! Both the chestnuts and the tools. I want to find out if we can plant these little chestnuts. They're about 3/4 of an inch across, and just delicious! They're as good as Italian chestnuts, but these are lot easier to open and eat.

hi there...i was just wandering could the tiny pebbles that have been stained black with soot which you have mention be a replacement for coffee beans??
i ran into a stall in roasting the water chestnuts with coffee beans instead of black pebble...but i have seen other stalls which uses the pebbles as well...
is it because pebbles are cheaper than coffee or is it just a different ingredient to spice up the aroma??
hope to hear from you real soon...
