Hello: Chinese medicine believes that chestnut is sweet and cold, and has the functions of nourishing stomach, strengthening spleen, tonifying kidney and strengthening tendons. Sun Simiao said in the Tang Dynasty: "Chestnuts are the fruit of kidney, and kidney disease should be eaten." "Compendium of Materia Medica" points out: "Chestnut can cure kidney deficiency, weakness of waist and legs, invigorate kidney, and thicken stomach." Chestnut is rich in vitamins, carotene, amino acids, iron, calcium and other trace elements.

It has the reputation of "Pearl" and "Purple Jade" in the East and is called "the best food for China Ganli" by the Japanese.
