Chestnuts are the traditional food of the American holidays.

 

In the winter, they are cooked over open flame, searing the organic sugar of the nut into a sweet glaze...

And in Autumn, they are chopped as a garnish for the Thanksgiving table.

The Chestnut is an ancient diet food being 50% water, less than 1% fat, cholesterol-free, gluten-free, and rich in Vitamins C and E. Nutritionally, they are closer to the brown rice family than any other nut or vegetable.
