It is said that the chestnut contains many nutrient substances and microelements (calcium, phosphorus, kalium and inorganic salt). What's more, it contains much fatty acid that can prevent high blood pressure, coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis. Also it can replenish blood and invigorate the kidney in Chinese traditional medicine theory. BTW, there are manys to cook the chestnuts. You can make chestnut conjee or stir-fry them. Stir-fried chestnuts are my favourite. Braised Chicken with Chestnuts also tastes good.

Many years ago, My father used to work for the united fruit co, so he was station in Costa Rica.
As a boy, growing up in Costa Rica we used to buy this chestnuts from the Chinese stores,
We used to love them, then we left Costa Rica to the USA and I never eat them again.
On my last trip to China this past August, as I was walking in the streets of Sanya, I saw them
just boil and fresh, delicious, my gf and I buy and enjoy them, as I was telling her of my life as a boy,
enjoying the beautiful rainforest of Costa Rica as I grow up.
