Chestnut is the fruit of chestnut. It is located in a wooden casing that has thorns on the outside and opens when the fruits ripen.

Raw chestnuts contain 50% water, 45% carbohydrates and 5% vegetable oil. They are eaten grilled or boiled, used in confectionery and cooking, and are also made into flour, mainly in parts of Asia.

The biological value of their protein is equal to that of the egg protein and is easily assimilated by the body.

It is also rich in minerals and vitamins, but poorer in fat than other fruits.

It is a good source of monounsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic and palmitoleic acid, which help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good (HDL).

They contain a lot of dietary fiber, which helps the gastrointestinal tract, monounsaturated fatty acids, omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants.

They also contribute to the proper functioning of the intestine, as a substitute for cereals.

In addition, chestnuts contain vitamins B1 and B2, necessary for the conversion of food into energy and for the proper functioning of the nervous system, as well as vitamin C (strengthens the immune system) and folic acid (necessary for the production of red blood cells).
