Chestnuts
Chestnuts are a unique nut known for their sweet, starchy flavor and smooth texture. Unlike most other nuts, chestnuts have a high carbohydrate content, making them a great source of energy. They are commonly consumed roasted or boiled, often enjoyed as a snack during the winter months, especially in European and Asian countries. Chestnuts are also used in a variety of culinary applications, including stuffing, soups, and desserts, due to their versatile flavor and texture.

Global Market Demand
The global demand for chestnuts has grown due to their increasing popularity in both traditional and modern culinary uses. Chestnuts are highly valued in markets in Europe, particularly Italy, Spain, and France, where they are a staple in holiday dishes and desserts. Additionally, the rising popularity of chestnut flour and chestnut-based products (like chestnut puree) in health-conscious diets is contributing to demand in North America and Asia.
