What is a "chestnut"?

Chestnuts are flavorful and starchy nuts harvested from the sweet chestnut tree, primarily found in temperate regions across Europe, Asia, and North America. They have a distinctively sweet and nutty flavor, making them a popular ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. Chestnuts can be enjoyed roasted, boiled, steamed, or mashed, and are used in various recipes, including soups, stuffings, desserts, and purees. Beyond their culinary uses, chestnuts are valued for their nutritional benefits, being low in fat and calories while rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
