About Castanhas

Castanhas, commonly referred to as chestnuts, are a nutrient-dense food often associated with Mediterranean and East Asian cuisines. Native to regions like Southern Europe and Asia, these nuts are unique due to their high carbohydrate content compared to other nuts. Castanhas are rich in dietary fiber, low in fat, and contain essential vitamins like B6 and C, as well as minerals such as magnesium and potassium. They are also gluten-free, making them suitable for various dietary needs. Typically roasted or boiled, castanhas have a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and are often used in festive dishes or desserts. On the health front, their low fat content supports heart health, while their fiber aids digestion. However, they are calorically dense and should be consumed in moderation for weight management. Castanhas are a versatile and nutritious addition to any meal or snack.
