Edible attention

When to eat: It is best to treat chestnuts as snacks between meals, or eat them during dinner, rather than eating them in large quantities after meals. This is because chestnuts contain more starch, and it is easy to consume too many calories after meals, which is not conducive to maintaining weight.

Be careful of the black caramel on the surface of chestnuts: when peeling chestnuts, you will find that the chestnut skin is sticky and your fingers are black after eating. This is because most of the sugar in fried chestnuts is attached to the chestnut skin, and the round sand in the pot reacts with sugar at high temperature to produce black caramel, which may contain harmful ingredients to health.
