About Chestnuts
Chestnuts are glossy, brown nuts encased in spiky burs, primarily harvested in Europe, Asia, and North America. Unlike most nuts, chestnuts are low in fat and high in carbohydrates, making them a unique source of energy. Rich in fiber, vitamin C, and essential minerals like copper, manganese, and potassium, chestnuts support digestion, immune function, and bone health. Their mild, slightly sweet flavor is a staple in Mediterranean and East Asian cuisine, often roasted, boiled, or ground into flour for baking. They contain very little protein and have a naturally low glycemic index, making them suitable for maintaining blood sugar levels. With their heart-friendly profile and antioxidant properties, chestnuts are a nutritious snack option. However, they are nutrient-dense, meaning portion control is essential if calories are a concern. Whether used in savory dishes or desserts, chestnuts provide a wholesome and versatile addition to a healthy diet.
