Chestnuts are rich in minerals such as iron, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus. They have a large percentage of Carbohydrates, therefore it is advisable to consume them in cases of anemia and provide energy instantly.
They are good in states of fatigue and for athletes or in cases of intense physical activity.
In winter, the stalls selling roasted chestnuts are popular. In the past, the chestnut fruit was known as winter bread or “bread of the poor” due to its richness in nutrients.
At home we can roast them in a pan after making a superficial cut with a knife in the skin or we can also boil them already peeled. Delicious and very nutritious!
