In the chestnut-listing season, the Tangchao chestnuts in the street, the chestnut soup in the restaurant, the chestnut-burning cabbage in the chestnut, and the chestnut cake in the supermarket all give rise to an appetite. How about the nutritional value of chestnut? Dr. Fan Zhihong of the College of Food Science and Technology at China Agricultural University explained that chestnuts are nuts, but it is not as rich in nuts as walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds, and its starch is very high. The carbohydrate content of dried chestnuts is 77%, which is equivalent to 75% of grains; fresh chestnuts are also 40%, which is 2.4 times that of potatoes. Fresh chestnut protein content of 4% -5%, although not as good as peanuts, walnuts, but slightly higher than cooked rice.
In some aspects, chestnut nutrition is higher than food. Chestnuts are rich in vitamin B1 and B2, vitamin B2 is at least 4 times that of rice, and every 100 grams contains 24 milligrams of vitamin C, which is unmatched by food. People may find it hard to think that fresh chestnut contains more vitamin C than vitamin C-recognized tomatoes, and it is more than ten times that of apple! Chestnuts also contain a wide range of minerals, including potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and manganese. Although they are not as high as hazelnuts and seeds, they are still much higher than those of ordinary fruits such as apples and pears. Potassium is outstanding, which is 4 times higher than that of apple that is known as potassium.
Bright oil chestnuts have a higher medicinal value. Chestnut has spleen and stomach, Qi, kidney, strong heart function, attending nausea, vomiting blood, blood in the stool embolism, all ages. Chestnuts are rich in soft dietary fiber and have a lower glycemic index than rice. As long as no sugar is added to the cooking process, diabetics can taste it in moderation.
Although chestnuts have a high nutritional and health value, they also need to be eaten well. Dr. Fan said that chestnuts can not eat a lot, eat more easily bloated, eat only six or seven pieces a day, stick to it can achieve a good nourishing effect. Dr. Fan also suggested that it is best to eat chestnuts as snacks between meals, or to eat in meals instead of eating a lot after meals. This is because chestnuts contain a lot of starch, and it is easy to eat too much calories after a meal, which is not conducive to maintaining weight. Dr. Fan reminded consumers that when purchasing chestnuts, do not pursue pure white or golden color. The golden yellow flesh may be chestnuts that have been chemically treated. Conversely, if the flesh is browned after frying or cooking, it is caused by the “browning reaction†of enzymes contained in the chestnuts. There is no harm.
