Today's food is chestnuts.
Chestnuts are so healthy, we're going to talk about it and I'm going to share with you how to buy them what the health benefits are. And I've got five amazing health details that I can't wait to share with you.
So how do we buy chestnuts?
Chestnuts are fresh between October and December. So that's when you're going to see them in the grocery store. Okay, so what we're looking for are the large shiny ones. So nice, shiny shell, nice large size, it's got some weight to it, that means it's very fresh, it's going to be amazing for my family.
Chestnuts Health Benefits
Now let's start talking about the health benefits of these chestnuts.
1. High vitamin content
Chestnuts are loaded with vitamins. For instance, Vitamin C is the most important one because not only if you just eat these raw would you get about 35 to 45% of the vitamin C, you actually will get at least 20% of it once they're cooked, so you're not going to lose it all.
You also get vitamins B, A and E plus a lot of your minerals. This is important because we need our vitamins and minerals, we need it in a food form as much as possible.
2. Chestnuts have antioxidants.
They actually had two specific antioxidants called Gallic and ellagic acid, which actually increase when you cook them. We actually get an increased amount of antioxidants when we cook these chestnuts.
3. Chestnuts are rich in fiber.
So chestnuts are going to be high in fiber. So this is another benefit. If you have prediabetes, diabetes, if you have digestive upset, you need this chestnut in your diet for some fiber.
4. Chestnuts are heart-healthy.
Chestnuts are heart-healthy because of the magnesium and the potassium that's in them. So all of the foods that have been created and designed by God are going to have his fingerprints that go into our body Create health. So if you really love your family, I want to challenge you to add in some chestnuts this holiday season.
5. Chestnuts are loaded with protein.
Now let's go on to Reason number five. You need to be eating chestnuts because of their protein content. They are a high protein food that will help you to get lean and healthy muscles!
Chestnut Recipes
There are many ways to cook chestnuts. But my most favorite chestnut recipes is to simply roast it. Get them in the oven. We're gonna bake them at 425 for 15 to 20 minutes. Next, put them on a towel, and they should burst open easily from baking.
Simply press on them to get them to release from their shells a little bit easier. Now what we can do is keep them in this town until I can handle them, they're not so hot, and the towel will keep them moist. I don't want them to dry out because then the show will be even harder to take off.
There you go - tasty chestnuts that are excellent to be eaten on their own.
Another one of my best chestnut recipes to try is to simply chop them up and make them a topping for a salad. I could make them a little bit bigger chunks and they could be your croutons on our salad as well.
Now if you're making a pumpkin pie this holiday season, this would be a really nice decoration to put on top of your pumpkin pie. So they're chopping up nicely. I'm just going to make them a little bit smaller.
Or maybe if you're doing the sweet potato casserole or a butternut squash pie. That would be really good. You could add this into one of your pie crust. You can mix it in with a graham cracker crust or even a baked crust.
God's created for us. So these are chestnuts. If they're new to you, then you're not alone. Because they're new to me as well. definitely a must to try. See how many different ways you can serve them to your family as well.
