Properties and Benefits
The high carbohydrate content make chestnuts a great muscle tonic in cases of convalescence or after demanding physical exercise. They are especially recommended for sports people.
They also possess galactogen properties for which they are very useful to women who are breastfeeding, as apart from improving the recovery of women after giving birth, they also increase the production of breast milk. They are also used in the treatment of varicose veins and haemorrhoids by acting as a vascular tonic.
Preparation
Chestnuts are much appreciated in haute cuisine, being used as the raw material for exquisite dishes. They can be used as garnishes either roasted or as a puree. They are also used to prepare one of the most esteemed desserts, considered a delicacy in many countries: Marron Glacé or candied chestnuts.
