Chestnuts are starchy yet sweet nuts native to regions of Asia, Europe, and North America, often associated with holiday traditions and warm, roasted aromas. Unlike most nuts, chestnuts are low in fat and calories but rich in complex carbohydrates, making them an excellent source of sustained energy. They’re packed with dietary fiber, vitamin C, manganese, copper, and B vitamins, which support immune health, digestion, and energy metabolism. Chestnuts are naturally gluten-free and have a soft, almost creamy texture when cooked, making them a versatile ingredient in both savory dishes and desserts, particularly in Italian, Chinese, and French cuisines. Their carbohydrate density may affect blood sugar, so they’re best enjoyed in moderation by individuals managing diabetes. Chestnuts can be boiled, roasted, or ground into flour, offering a wholesome, nutrient-rich option for diverse culinary creations.
