Autumn time is also chestnut time

Autumn time is also chestnut time main image30. Sep. 2022

In the colder season, chestnuts simply belong as a warming delicacy.

Chestnuts are gluten-free and have an alkaline effect. They are about 48% water, 40% carbohydrates, 8% fiber, 2% protein and only 2% fat. They are rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements. The high fiber content ensures healthy digestion.

Maroni and sweet chestnuts must be boiled, steamed or roasted. This is the only way to unlock their strength and make the fruits digestible.

Tip: Fresh chestnuts can be recognized by the fact that they feel firm and heavy and look shiny. You can test the freshness of chestnuts by placing them in lukewarm water. Fresh fruits sink to the bottom, floating ones are inedible.

This is how chestnuts are roasted: Let them soak in water for 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 180 degrees, cut them crosswise and place them on a grid lined with baking paper and then bake for around 20 to 30 minutes. Wrap briefly in a wet tea towel and enjoy!!

Chestnuts are a delicious and healthy change on the menu. They can be prepared in many different ways and score with their slightly sweet taste. Chestnuts give us good support when we are physically and mentally exhausted. They are especially beneficial for the nerves because they calm and spread a warming, pleasant, protective feeling.

Application areas:
  • fatigue
  • exhaustion
  • underweight
  • pull-out
  • physical stress
  • lactation
  • lack of blood
  • nervous weakness
  • back and muscle weakness
  • Diarrhea
Info: In TCM - Traditional Chinese Medicine - chestnuts are nourishing and strengthen Qi and kidney Yang. They have a slightly warming effect and drive away cold wind, which is particularly good for people who are susceptible to infections.
