If you can eat chestnuts why can't you eat Conkers? Which are from the common horse chest nut tree.
The chestnuts that are edible are called sweet chestnuts, while conkers, or horse chestnuts, are poisonous. Sweet chestnuts have a furry husk, and horse chestnuts have spikes on the husk. Sweet chestnuts taste the best roasted, but can be eaten raw or cooked. Horse chestnuts are used for anti-inflammatory ailments and skin care products.
