water chestnut definition and meaning

What is "water chestnut"?

Water chestnut is an aquatic plant native to Asia, widely known for its unique features and culinary uses. It grows in freshwater environments, producing bulbous corms with a crunchy texture and subtly sweet flavor. These corms are enclosed in a brown, rough outer skin, concealing the tender, white flesh inside. Water chestnuts can be found in markets, both fresh and canned, and are often used in Asian cuisine to add a refreshing element to various dishes. Their distinctive shape and characteristic crunch make them a popular choice for stir-fries, salads, and even desserts, adding a delightful contrast of texture and a hint of sweetness.
