Chestnut
Description: The chestnut is the ultimate comforting autumn fruit. Unlike other nuts, it is high in starch and low in fat, making it an energizing and filling food. Its starchy, sweet flesh develops aromas of warm bread and hazelnut when cooked. In the kitchen, it is essential roasted over a wood fire, braised as an accompaniment to poultry, or candied.
