About Nuts, chestnuts, chinese, dried
The Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) is the nut of an Asian chestnut tree prized for its sweet, large nuts and its natural resistance to the blight that devastated the American chestnut. Encased in a spiny burr and a glossy brown shell, the starchy kernel turns soft, sweet, and floury when cooked, with a mild, nutty flavor. Unlike most nuts, chestnuts are low in fat and high in complex carbohydrates and fiber, along with vitamin C and minerals, and they are naturally gluten-free.
They are most beloved roasted until the shells split and the flesh is warm and tender, and they are also boiled, candied into marrons glaces, pureed for soups and desserts, ground into flour, and added to stuffings and stews. Score the shells before roasting so they peel easily. Choose firm, heavy, glossy chestnuts with no cracks, and store them in the refrigerator, since their high moisture makes them perishable.
