    What are Chestnuts?

    Chestnuts come from a deciduous tree that is closely related to oaks and beeches. They all belong to the family Fagaceae. There are 9 different species of chestnut that can be found in temperate regions in the northern hemisphere. 

    Benefits of Chestnuts:

    Chestnuts help increase brain function since they contain fat-soluble B vitamins that promote healthy skin, produce red blood cells and improve brain function.

    Chestnuts contain manganese, which is a mineral that fights off free radicals in the body.

    Chestnuts are rich in fiber, as well as mineral salts such as potassium, phosphorus, and small quantities of iron.
