About the Product

Chestnut is a genus of the eight or nine species of deciduous trees and shrubs in the beech family Fagaceae. Chestnuts are starchy, sweet, and rich in flavour. They are popular cool-season edible nuts of the northern hemisphere and are native to hilly forests of China, Japan, Europe, and North America. Chestnuts provide high levels of dietary fibre, minerals, vitamins, nutrients, antioxidant compounds and other important components that make up a healthy diet.

Benefits

  • Chestnuts are an excellent source of minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and zinc, besides providing a very good amount of potassium (518 mg / 100 g).
  • Potassium helps counter hypertensive action of sodium, lowers heart rate and blood pressure. Iron helps prevent microcytic-anemia  Magnesium and phosphorus are important components of bone metabolism.

Storage and Uses

  • Raw chestnuts are very difficult to peel and are traditionally peeled by boiling or roasting the chestnut. Chestnuts can be peeled and eaten raw.
  • Chestnuts can be dried and milled into flour, which can then be used to prepare bread, cakes, pancakes, pasta, and polenta or used as a thickener for stews, soups, and sauces.
