Chestnuts belong to the starchy nuts, containing carbohydrate is relatively high, about 78.4%, which also shows that its calorie is certainly not low, 348kcal/100 grams; contains a small amount of protein and fat. Chestnuts are rich in vitamins, especially B vitamins, niacin and vitamin E; in addition, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper and other minerals are not low. Eat chestnuts can quickly replenish energy, a strong sense of satiety; however, do not recommend weight loss partners to eat chestnuts, because probably eat 6-7 chestnuts (about 100 grams) is equivalent to the intake of 350kcal or so calories, accidentally eat more, the previous work is lost.

Chestnuts come in rounds, half-rounds and flattened ones.

The unripe chestnuts are wrapped in large prickly balls, and if there is only one chestnut inside the large ball, it is round;

If it's two chestnuts it's a semicircle.

If it's 3 chestnuts, the center is squashed and the center gets less light and is less sweet.

The round ones are relatively the sweetest, and the ones that are flat on both sides are the least sweet.
