Soft and delicious, with sufficient starch content, sweet taste and easy cooking; Rich in nutrition, its vitamin B2 content is three times that of rice, and protein content is equivalent to that of rice and flour.

How to peel chestnuts is "simple"?
For "raw chestnuts", it is suggested that raw chestnuts can be soaked in salted boiled water for about 5 minutes, then cut with a knife and peeled while it is hot, which is more practical.
For "cooked chestnuts", you can also soak them in boiling water a little, which will help to peel them, but it may affect some sweetness; If you are afraid of wasting delicious food, please peel it slowly.
Chestnuts, how to choose?
For chestnuts, I suggest you carefully identify them when you buy them. On the one hand, buy high-quality and reliable chestnuts. On the other hand, in order to improve the appearance of chestnuts and make chestnuts more attractive, some black-hearted merchants in the market will add a color modifier "paraffin" in the process of frying chestnuts. Some businesses even use industrial paraffin to save costs, but this substance contains a strong carcinogen "polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons", which is easy to cause damage to brain nerves and liver organs, so it is more necessary for us to conduct reliable identification when purchasing.
It is worth noting that if you buy chestnuts, please refuse to "open chestnuts":
Although open chestnuts look more shiny and beautiful, although open chestnuts look more attractive, it is not recommended that you buy them; Open-bag chestnuts are easy to increase viscosity after being fried with sugar in sand, but they are easy to ingest dust or harmful substances (such as paraffin), so it is not recommended to buy them from the perspective of safety or nutrition.
How to eat chestnuts is more reliable?
Although delicious, it should be limited:
Chestnut, originally a kind of nut food with high energy content, is rich in nutrition, but it also needs to be eaten in moderation. Excessive intake can easily lead to abdominal distension, acid reflux and even obesity and other adverse reactions. It is recommended to take no more than 10 capsules per day.
"Steamed stew" is more reliable:
In order to reduce the intake of salt and sugar, steamed chestnuts, boiled chestnuts and stewed chestnuts are the most reliable, which will not increase additional health risks, and their nutrients are easier to absorb. Sugar-fried chestnuts can of course be eaten, but they should be limited and hygienic.
Chestnut, a kind of nut recommended for you to eat, is reliable in selection, healthy to eat, simple to peel and restore your healthy life.
