Chestnuts as a raw material

Chestnuts are versatile and play an important role in gastronomy. It is particularly popular in cakes, desserts and some main dishes. In addition to fresh chestnuts, which can be baked or cooked, dried chestnut flour and preserved chestnuts (e.g. mashed) are also widely used. One of the best-known chestnut sweets is the ‘marrons glacés’, or candied chestnuts, a speciality of French gastronomy. It is rich in nutrients, minerals, vitamins and fibre.
